Fresh from the Robo-One 11 bi-ped robot competition at Kourakuen Hall in Tokyo comes this impressive video of OmniZero.4.

As you can see, OmniZero.4 climbs ladders, clomps around, jumps rope, and makes crappy, shell-heavy omelettes.

According to Robots-Dreams.com, OmniZero.4 edged out the spawn of the Great Majingaa by a score of 453 to 432 to win the demonstration competition.

An earlier iteration of The Great Majingaa can be seen below, controlled by an emotionless child wearing some sort of robotic exoskeleton device.

You may also want to check out this epic Robo-One 10 battle between King Kizer and Retro. Retro pulls off the greatest maneuver in robot-battle history at the 47-second mark.

King Kizer can also be seen beating the hell out of a water bottle in this video. Meanwhile, unimpressed children eat snacks in the background.

For text-based entertainment, you may want to peruse the Excite-translated English version of the Robo-One 11 site.
