Some robots play soccer. Others just want a hug. But at Robogames 2012 last weekend, all eyes were on combat robots. Better known as combots, these hulking masses of metal and rubber battle to the death, vying for gold medals in boxing-style weight classes.
Robogames is an annual competition that pits robots head to head in more than 50 different events. There are foot races, soccer and hockey matches, maze-mastering challenges, and even a robot version of autocross.
