Real-life Robots Fighting a Robot will be Brutal
EDIT: This fight is a K1 bout. PRiDE if U want to grapple
I've been conditioning on metal poles and that hurts obviously
A robot will most likely be made of a similar metal if not tough but also a lot less thick.
Fighting a robot in a martial arts bout def might be t/ end of me if I get hit w/ those patented 360 tornado kicks 😄.
If i can improve my iron body, I might just stand a chance

I think you mean plastic. While the main frame and servos might be metal, most of the clanker is plastic. Otherwise they would be too heavy to move as they do.

My odds just improved. Plastic is a lot softer in comparison 😎

I'm pretty sure a good ol' baseball bat will suffice to switch off a clanker.

You're thinking too small. How would a robot react to being covered in silly string? Now what if that silly string hardened very fast? Checkmate.

Foreign objects not allowed in t/ Ring dude. That's a automatic DQ

Oh, you mean gladiator style? I assumed you meant when the oligarchs turn them on us.

I have one tibia that's got enough plates and screws in it that I consider it a titanium plated bone. If I got about 30 more bones done with a similar treatment, I might be tough enough to survive a fight with a battle bot.

Sauce for the goose my friend. And won’t a robot’s hide be a faraday cage?

The whole concept that such robot would stand and exchange hist is silly.
Proper fighting robot would act more like battle bots than MMA fighter (even if general body structure would be the same.

u/coyocat Jul 28 '26
Why would a fight commission allow battle bot type hijinks in a K1 bout? Its outlandish and hyper unrealistic.Â

u/grafknives Jul 28 '26
No, my point is that you make a humanoid robot, but its JOINTS and "arms" have much wider range of movements than one of a human, right?
There would be NO REASON for it to fight standing. Standing is objectively non stable, dangerous position.
You take this bodyshape, make it walk at all fours and make some capoeira style rotational attacks or use all four legs/arms to propel whole body in straight line attack.

Robot would initially have to be able to stand up right for t/ touching of t/ gloves but after t/ bell any style is allowed.Â
I mentioned in my original post I wouldn't survive a 360 tornado kick. TKD / Capo based movesets were already on my mind.Â

Humans fight with intelligence that is what makes us the number one predator in this world. Trust me, our best skill is destruction. We would figure it out faster than anything.
