For what? I might could fab a righteous hammer for it to wield, but Good Enough LLC does not deal in robots. Or anything remotely close to anything involving precision =)

There was a similar show that ran regularly for a bit where they did this same thing, though the bots were much smaller. I think the ultra heavy weights might have been a few hundred pounds. Most others weren't much bigger than 1/24 - 1/12 R/C cars.

I'd watch. It'll probably be on YouTube in no time. Need some details before I start placing bets ;)

Be bold and risk defeat, or be cautious and encourage it.
