LIVE GIANT ROBOT FIGHT!
Вставка
- Опубліковано 5 лис 2017
- Our fans wanted live giant robot fights, so we're giving them live giant robot fights! We made our 6-ton Iron Glory robot remote-controlled, gave it a melee combat weapon, and matched it up against our 12-ton Eagle prime robot outfitted with a giant 500-pound knife! This is MegaBots LIVE!, the first of a series of live events where we test the rules, regulations, and technologies needed to create a sports league of giant fighting robots.
Join us as we figure out what it takes to bring the robots of science fiction into arenas and stadiums around the world!

that was a significant improvement over the last match in my opinion. A suggestion now would be focusing on weapon types, trying to determine which weapons would be effective in the given scenario. the potential is huge.
Definitely agree.
b
I chose hammer and mace.
Yes, rather than focusing on the vital technology within the robots just give them harder to implement weapons.
high pressure water cannon
And here they are folks.... they're coming at eachother..... Gonna collide eventually..... any day now..... and now here he goes, swinging back for a hit! Still back swinging! And here comes the punch! Still coming... still coming..... and there it goes! It hit... the foam.... this is history folks... history.
You need more camera angles, or a couple of AP drones.
I agree. Can they get Japans?
They have giant mechas but no drone with a cam
You saw what Eagle Prime did to that other drone
Bobert Games drone for camera angles so you can actually see shit. Not for distractions ffs
Drones gunners sounds nice, lol
Gatta say I think Iron Glory stood no chance here lol. That armour tearing and hydraulic fluid stuff was cool. Appreciate the work you guys put into doing this stuff.
That was easily the fakest thing in either robot fight. No hydraulic system could lose that much fluid and still function on any level.
I'm not sure I follow, Iron Glory stopped working because it ran out of hydraulic fluid in Round 2 and Round 3.
If you watch the live stream you can watch Iron Glory be refilled with hydraulic oil and repairs be made.
After springing a major leak, smaller-scale hydraulic systems lose all pressure (therefore all force it can exert) immediately, and even minor leaks cause a system to be dead in the water within a minute. This is inherent to how hydraulic systems work.
Also, I don't know what kind of hydraulic fluid they were using, but if it's anything like brake or transmission fluid, they couldn't have all those people there during a major leak. Brake fluid, like most petroleum products, is toxic to humans, though brake fluid is especially toxic and transmission fluid is so bad that you're advised to wash your hands immediately if you get some on them. I dripped some brake fluid on my plastic headlights, wiped it off as soon as I could, and they still got a spot on them I had to buff out.
*Iron Glory engine dies
Announcer: IT IS ON FIRE THIS IS AMAZING! IRON GLORY HAS EXPLODED IN A PLUME OF SMOKE, SMOKE IS FILLING THE BATTLEFIELD HERE
THE POWER PLAT HAS EXPLODED IN IRON GLORY!!!!!!!!
It's like watching two elderly men fight over a parking space.
Drinking Challenge: Every time he says "first", "Live robot fight", "fortress one" or "Heyward, California" take a shot...
I died 20 seconds into the match from alcohol poisoning.
“RELENTLESSLY ATTACKING”
*tap tap*
Real deal! Thank you for listening to your fans!!!
The grapple is a bit OP, I feel like the battles would be much more spectacular and long-lasting if they had to rely on punching, with big windups and hard hits. When iron glory punched eagle prime during the second part everyone cheered, I think that's where its at.
I think some stragtegic placing of some of these would help: ua-cam.com/video/wIHwqPAgA9I/v-deo.html
Round 1 starts at 9:50, round 2 starts at 18:10, and round 3 starts at 25:55 ... Check out our MegaBots posters, patches, and apparel at megabots.com/collections/all
Thx man
Why didn't you guys create individual cut off valves for each limb, you had to have realized a puncture/cut hydraulic line was a very real possibility?
My biggest recommendation as a motorcycle racer: there is nothing more epic than cockpit and helmet cam footage... The pilots always mention how epic it is inside the cockpit... So show us!
Eben Adams
They should fight China's Wukong robot
Yup... 360° coverage would also be great next time. A camera on each sides in the back would not have been a luxury. Most of the fight would have looked more epic from these viewpoints.
Though this was definitely an improvement.
Close-up of damages and repairs during the animation are still another possible upgrade.
The commenting here was so much better than the battle with Kuratas. The people there seemed more alive and involved (especially when interviewing/socializing with the pilots), though I felt like the phrase "This Is Live" was used like 15 times (I didn't count). The first round, in comparison to 2nd and 3rd round, seemed to have the most logical rules with no grabbing or knocking over allowed. More fight time means more experience. But all in all, everyone here seemed so much happier and interactive (than the prerecorded battle and random commentators). I look forward to seeing more! Keep asking your fans and yourselves questions on how to proceed and ideas!!
I was there, and it was so awesome to see in real life. I get that people think the announcer was lame, but I'm positive that's because how awesome this was doesn't come through in the video as well. In real life, it was so awesome!
I suggest that there be several types of battles, battles involving piloted robot vs piloted robot, controlled robots, ranged fights using paint cannons, mixed fights, blunt weapon fights, sharp weapon fights etc. Good work guys, this really is the beginning of a whole new type of sport.
Build them for speed and ranged attacks and the people will come.
Great job guys.
This was substantially more entertaining than the prior staged fight, you can actually feel the excitement and scale with this one. Less staged drama and more bass busting engines grinding against each other while smacking 500-pound weapon limbs around.
Missed it live, so im glad i can watch a shorter version here instead of going through what i imagine was an hour or 2 long stream over on twitch.
After finishing the video, i love the idea of using foam as armour, not only does it make the destruction more visually appealing but i'd assume it would also be cheaper and lighter allowing the machines to be faster.
I think as more regulations are agree upon (especially concerning safety of the pilots) more destructive weapons will be allowed allowing for and creating the need for better armor. It will still be visually appealing, just way more intense.
Brian P well yeah, we saw a glimpse of the more destructive effects with the chainsaw, but those weapons aren't going to be used as often as the claws which seem to be more or less just scratching the opponent...
It is getting way better!

@@augustajones4 wtf is wrong with you
LOL I LAUGHED WHAT'S WRONG WTF MAN
You guys need weight classes. Kuratas was clearly in a much lower class weighing alot less than Eagle Prime and soooo much less hp at 80hp to Eagles 400hp. And engineering and arsenal would play a part in it too. Bringing weight classes into it would help make the fights alot more balanced and fair and make for a more exciting match as it could go either way. Example. Iorn Glory would be rank one. Kuratas would be rank two. And Eagle Prime would be like rank three XD
We definitely agree on weight classes! What do you think about piloted robots getting weight handicaps over remote control robots, though? Is 2X weight too much of a handicap?
MegaBots Inc I'd say maybe a 10-20% handicap on weight would be fair, 2x is a bit much I think
Handicaps will help the "eb and flow" of varying budgets/designs coming in from different teams.
I feel like remote controlled robots should be in a different division than piloted ones, Because when there are no pilots your are more free to use more dangerous weapons as opposed to when there are pilots that you have to be mindfull of so you dont seriously injure them, Fighting a Remote controlled robot would give the pilot an unfair advantage because the Remote controlled one would have to watch what weapons to use and where to use them and the one with the pilot would not have to
Also that could mean more interesting shows too, because those that want to see more carnage would tune into the non piloted ones because it would be a no holds bard match up because there are no humans. And the ones with piloted bots would be damaged but the damage would be fixable because of the human element and that also means a higher chance of seeing that robot fight again which would give the audiance the option of chosing favorites instead of expecting to see one completly destroyed never to return
Love the personal feedback from MegaBots. After a lot of people felt let down after the first fight, this is a great way to learn and understand what the community wants to see and what they can get hype behind!
Announcer could have toned it down a little, but it was interesting. Probably about as chaotic as you can make it at this point I imagine. :D
He had to entertain a live crowd
and he's been working for two years to make this happen
STFU
+Rodrigo Rivera love you too XOXOXOXO
hocadidilyocutt we just need stronger motors, we have the tech to fight hardcore small robots, not big ones yet though
could you imagine if the Transformers movie was like this....
Autobots roll out. *scoots away with 2 miles per hour, hitting a rock allong the way unable to proceed*
Or Guntanks from Mobile Suit Gundam.
@@petezah4597 😹😹😹😹😹😹
That would be so boring lol
I watched the stream. Heart damn near got broken when Iron Glory suffered the malfunction before they could really get into it.
Hopefully such issues don't come up in later battle tests.
We're working on battle-hardening both robots for future tests!
That was real tho! It was so awesome to watch them get back together and two more awesome rounds in!
MegaBots Inc Iron Glory needs some love on the engineering department
It was great! Glad to see 3 rounds! And malfunctions like that are the norm in robot fighting. happens on the small bots in robot wars so why not here?
That's what testing is for, even if the fight had a fatal flaw like that something important was learned as far as future development into this kind of technology.
don't listen to haters and dumbasses, this shit is balla as hell, its good as chips n dip, its the bees knees. Mecha fights are the future of entertainment (or at least, I want them to be badly enough)
Much better than last time. At least it's not scripted.
Amen.
Let's go iron glory!!!!! What? I can't be the only one.
LET'S GO PRIME
I'll be honest, this was more exciting than the Kuratas fight, mostly because this felt less scripted.
Narrator: THIS IS AMAZZINNNNGGGG
Me:dude some smoke appeared, that's it, nothing happened
Eagle prime: *Flex*
Iron glory: *Flex* *SUDDENLY CRACKS SPINE*
*BLEEDS ITS FLUIDS EVERYWHERE*
Rinse, Add eagle prime punching iron glory in round two, repeat
Totally one side battle! But I love watching robots doing battle! Would like to see another international fight again! China & Korea both have working mechs! Although I think Korea's robot is just for demonstrating design & functionality! China's robot has a staff weapon!
China robot is rubbish, their just can copy only.
Speaking long-term for the possible sport you're trying to build (and we hope you succeed in building!), I can only really see two ways of making the fights both impressive to watch but keep people from being injured or killed.
1. Both robots are remote controlled, hopefully with a secure system because no one wants a rampaging robot.
2. Both are piloted, the weapons are designed to pose no real threat to the pilots, and the robots are designed to take damage in some flashy fashion like with break away parts, maybe aluminum panels or otherwise things.
Honestly, 2 bulldozer going head to head is probably more interesting
You guys are making every kid's dream come true! Thank you for all of your efforts. You rule!!!
I loved to see it yesterday with my family! Looking forward to the next fight!
Put the men in a "pod" that simulates the inside of the cockpit, and maybe have some way of telling if the cockpit has been ruptured or the pilot dead to be an alternate way to stop the robot
Great job guys! This is a great step in the right direction. I'm still hoping for a full league someday. Still you guys seem to have really helped reignite the imagination of a generation for mechs. It was my dream growing up, and it's getting closer every day now.
Although, there seems to be a big mismatch between the two of them, and with only the two fighting that makes it less interesting over a long period. It also isn't as exciting when they get into the big grapple. They just don't twist fast enough to make the clinch look like pulse pounding action. I'd prefer to see more long and mid range mixed back in. Even if it meant adding areas that shut down different parts of the mech when hit. Sort of like a kill switch if that makes sense.
This was great!! THATS how you dual giant robots!!!
I think Matt needs to moderate ALL the duals! His excitement and enthusiasm was fantastic!!!
Thank you, MegaBots Inc for including your fans in your testing process!
I'd say go fully remote, and focus on less grappling. Backing up after a big hit should happen, instead of the two just getting locked in.
Amiibo Charles fully remote wouldn't be as fun or entertaining
MrTarfu it will be because then they could use real guns and actually destroy each other
brandonac45 gaming not realistically, the legality issues for putting actual guns on the robots is complex.
+brandonac45 gaming I don't think that is ever going to happen. These things cost millions of dollars, they are way to expensive to replace after every fight. There are plenty of ways to have a good fight without it being to the death. UFC isn't to the death, and its got plenty of fans. And as for "real guns" what do you mean? Because tank are already the best weapons platform available for land vehicles, so there's no point in making expensive robots to tell us that. Unless of course you want a rc, live sized tank battles, which would be admittedly cool as hell, although it would be different from this. Do you mean keep it mostly about melee combat but give them machine guns to destroy sensitive parts of the robot? Because that doesn't seem like it would make up for the entertainment lost by making them unmanned.
So, you want to go watch "Robot Wars". That's what you're talking about. It's a great show but part of the draw of this is that the pilots have to be INSIDE of the machine. Also, tanks may not be the BEST land based weapons platform. Mostly because tanks have never faced "Giant Robots" though.
second round was quite a thrill!
I think these fights would benefit from some drone cameras for more dynamic footage, make it look more action packed.
These are getting better and better!
I loved this guys, keep up the great work, I really want to see this become a bigger deal, and maybe get involved one day, either with you guys or against you :P
I Like eagle prime
badass!
welp time to get an old car and some freinds. im gonna try and make my own bot.
cog wheel. Just get a excavator and add armor
Chicks dig giant Robots
Wow its nice to be able to see something like this in my lifetime!
I'm gonna give it about... 6 years before this all is figured out and refined enough for a real tournament to happen.
In 5 years this could be as big as Robot Wars. In ten years; League of Legends status.
MrBuffalohorn thats want they want to make money from crap fake American robot wrestling
It really did; it’s airing new episodes every Sunday.
"As big as Robot Wars" isn't really saying much, it's a fun show but not exactly topping any charts in terms of popularity.
What about robots flipping each other over, grinding each other in an arena, slicing each other to bits, and torching each other is fake? If anything normal wrestling is considerably more fake, because they're pulling their punches! In robot wars, those pilots are out to kill the other robot with there own, so they pull no punches.
U mean battlebots man. Robot Wars is kinda a shit ripoff of it
I’m not sure what fight the commentator was watching but he was way too excited for that show
This makes me nostalgic for Robot Jox!! I Can't wait for the robots to have more fluid movements.
What about to put Eagle Prime against an Excavator?! :)
28:00 Why using FOAM as armor?
Because their projectiles are paintballs and similar objects. They're not trying to kill each other.
There on a budget, and iron glory was mainly just for show
As Jem said. Iron Glory was more proof of concept than battle ready. They'll need 2 eagle primes to make this an even match in terms of design.
Be cuz fck it
YCCCm7 No one has the money for another eagle prime :(
Way better then the fight against kuratas!
Mr. Abrams
Ehhh, I don't knowwww🤔
“Getting close to its last breath, RULES OF NATURE”
"THIS IS REAL" XD love this guy's passion
Loved it, looking forward to seeing more. A drone camera could be good for getting a nice view of those clinches though
We need more camera angles!
just about to comment that... , when the angle switched mid fight I suddenly got more hyped up!
Stuart Dilts
No body wants to get close to that shit lol
Please add cockpit and helmet cams for the pilots. Action is always better from the pilot's seat
This is both fun and funny to watch.
MUCH better than the original fight. Thank you for taking fans opinions in consideration!
I enjoyed this direction more than the Kuratas fight. I prefer robot fights as something more like NASCAR than WWE.
love it... more robot fighting!! :)
I think the biggest take away from this fight is that you need more cameras in better places
As I thought, the weapons that relied on ke generated by the arms and torso weren't particularly useful. Powered weapons look like they are going to be the way to go for awhile. Some better armour will also allow the mechs to give bigger and harder hits; which is more fun for everyone. Weapons like grinders, Tombstone-esk spinners, abrasive jet saws, pneumatic hammers, pneumatic spikes, wrecking ball flails, and shields will all be some cool weapons to see. Also, strategic placing of small, dremel tool like buzz saws on the forearms should discourage grappling in favor of striking ua-cam.com/video/wIHwqPAgA9I/v-deo.html that would mess up and grabbing implements. They also obviously need to sort out their engines, and they need some better protection for their hydraulic lines, but I'm optimistic that they can pull it off.
Is there anyway we could get a better camera angle next time? It was hard to see the hits.
Yep, working on it. All of our camera gear (like all the GoPros we put everywhere on the robots) is set up for recording to tape. We're working on beefing up our livestream game, slowly but surely.
MegaBots Inc That's awesome! I really appreciate you guys being so responsive to your fans. Super cool.
awesome! cant wait for future fights!
I wish it was more like Robot Combat League,that was a great show for the short time it lasted
That was so cool. You guys Improved so much in such a short period of time. There's no way you can keep people in those bots though. One unlucky stab and you could kill those pilots.
thats teh fun of it though. the thrill of the fight!
Here is a hint. The only way to stop people from whining about it not being live is to stream right here on UA-cam.
Robots: doing hugs
Announcer: OH MY GOD THIS IS INSAAAAANE NEVER SEEN THAT IN MY LIFE
dude calm down there is really nothing happening, just robot dying by himself
i cant believe i get to see the first days of something as big as this. if history repeats itself and this is the equivalent of being awe struck at a color tube TV. then i cant wait to see the "flat 4k tvs" of this sport.
When I win the lottery I want to be part of the league with my team 😄
BOTCON SHOW can i join your teamas a pilot
itaski plays& other stuff
of course 😄😄😄
as long as I can be the co pilot sure 😄😄😄
BOTCON SHOW sweet
BOTCON SHOW if you Let me i will be the crazy german Scientist.
This is real!⚡ 😂
Better than the first fight in my opinion even if one wasn't piloted, felt more like the stakes were high at least in the 3rd round
Nice! Loved the hydraulic fluid.
umm i think they should call it mech .. mech and robot are different .. mech has pilot in it .. while robot is remote controlled pilot
+Aian Lacruzel if my recall is right tetsujin 28 doesnt have a pilot in it so i think its robot
yuuna chan Well at one point remote control mech is also being call as a mech, take type-3 Kiryu as example, it's control by two white hero or something from far, and Kiryu is also been call MechaGodzilla 3
Like it allot but take the Mic away from Matt. And the camera angles weren't very good you couldn't see allot of the fight .
No way! Matt was awesome!
Imagine this: Fast forward to the very tip of highly-advanced mech combat, and then looking back at this video on how it all started.
Divided Reality Don't have to imagine it, if we keep supporting them we can live it.
ASMR JUNKIE
A mini MadCat would be awesome.
We are gonna look back at this in 30 years and we will say “ how did people find this exciting “ as they turn on their tv and see mechs jumping with swords and running while shooting cannons
You dont bloody need a nickname for someone literally named Orion!
Come on man! Its the ultimate mech pilot name.
What, if someone's literally named "Prometheus" you would ask for a nickname too? Dude..
Minerals > Vitamins
Why doesn't the military get in on this?
Military: "Because we got already got tanks."
that was so epic. thumbs up!!!!
after seeing this i finally know what's wrong here
in my opinion using hydraulics was a poor choice
a robot that's electric from the "waist" up would be superior due to the massive torque that electric motors have and the redundancy they provide (if one burns out the others can keep going instead of one leak powering down all systems)
if done right a bot with such hardware would be able to pull off quicker , more sudden movements , making the fights more organic ,on top of that without hydraulics in the way it would be hardier
to provide power to such a beast id that the newly developed solid state lithium batteries that simoutaneously provide2-3 times the energy density of a current tech lithium battery while being impossible to explode
obviously remote control would be superior , remooving the risk would allow for more extreme combat , a control cockpit with a vr headset as the interface that would follow the head's movement (as they use for drone racing) would be perfect and control would be done in a specialised cockpit with intuitive control systems
speaking with controls i would suggest grouping up with suitobashi and developing an arm following technology (i've seen something similar in one of their vids) that would allow the robot's arms to be controlled by following the movement of the arms of the user making combat even more organic
finally adding one "hand" by implementing the previously mentioned control system could allow "holster sidearms" such as swords or guns a robot could use alongside it's mounted weapons (imagine a massive rifle or sword being wielded ...... orgamsic)
though this would result in a bulkier bot it would be closer to what we see in sci-fi
I totally agree with electronic motors being an interesting idea. The only issue that I can see with electric components, would be the battery issue. Lithium ion batteries catch fire when punctured, and there is a high potential for that in this type of fight. Pilot safety is the key factor. As for the remote controled versions, I say don't use them. The appeal of these fights is for piloted machines. If you go remote controled, then it just becomes a scaled up version of RoboWars.
Joshua Abrams i addressed the issue with batteries
Solid electrolyte lithium batteries don't explode and can store more energy
(also for responsiveness and arm control tech that mechs could use look at the all electric method 2 mech that a Korean company made)
if the eagle prime was electronic then the water bottles on the kurtas would actually be useful lol
BeaconBot boltz design redundancy and waterproof the shit out of it ;)
Look at method 2 arm's movements and tell me it's not worth the risk
fl00fydragon electric motors are much more fragile than electric, and the heat generated by them is much greater than that of hydraulics. They just did a poor job of protecting the lines and creating remote shut off valves at each limb to prevent "bleeding out"
That useless cannon arm though, still good fight
I just imagine someone hacking iron glory, then you have a legit robot fight with them. 🤣
This is what i wanted to see!
Do not take men out of the cockpits damn it....!!!!
Why?
Bohemond I of Antioch
The fights need to be about in pilot skill and responses with the mech. As well as the mech being tuned to the pilots response.. Put the man in the bot and give it human response not a safe guy in the corner with a remote controls... That guy doesn't feel fear thar would make him act to change his moves
Oh, I miss read your comment, I thought it said "Take the men out of the cockpits damnit!!!" :). Carry on good sir.
FIRST!
Wow.
I call hackz
Jemcm123spy for real. Hahahahah
MegaBots Inc you need sponsors. Skaters get sponsors. Coke vs. Toyota!!!
MegaBots Inc first live giant robot battle! We brought.. most of our kids, just did it in the back. We hella recorded it... >:/ this deserves fair grounds, bleachers, and vendors.
Great fight guys, definitely better live keep it upppppppppppp
PACIFIC RIM IN THE MAKING
Kuratas rules.
I thought it would be... i don't know, maybe more epic? I feel disappointment
lFoRGoTl id they were smaller it would be faster and exciting but since it's big it's kinda slow tbh...
Dude we are writinf history.. if you want epicness go warch transformers
The first tanks weren't all that impressive, granted tanks are actually practical.
lFoRGoTl give it some time, in 40 years they'll be doing backflips.
One ting to consider is the production side. These need to be cheap and easy to make while they are in battle testing so less impressive camera shots and editing. Also being live means that picking the right camera for a certain shot or even having enough cameras is an issue for now.
Unlike the last fight where they used production to cover up an unimpressive fight I'd rather they focus on the fight format first then work out the production to show it off.
Hydraulic Power Fist!!! MAKE IT!
First live giant robot fight, first live giant robot fight!! First live giant robot fight😂😂 oh my gosh does he enjoy saying that
The angles were pretty bad as well. most of the fight I had no clue what was going on.
There was a lot of effort made in making those robots. But it's still a lame fight.
I agree. They barely moved. Cool concept though.
Even the giant robot fights in ROBOT JOX were less awkward than this :/
This was actually pretty good given the disaster the kuratas fight was. It's getting better! Good job boys! Keep it up. I'm glad you guys are listening to your fans!
Can't wait for the next vid! We
This is pathetic, and very underwhelming.
USA First!
America First!
Right on bro.
It was more or less a reference to Alex Jones, but yeah..
*_M U R I C A F U C K Y E A H_*
Yeeeaah! I like Alex Jones too!
'ＭＵＲＩＣＡ
THAT WAS AWESOME!
Iron Glory is the Glass Joe of giant robots.
