(CNN)"Suidobashi, you have a giant robot, we have a giant robot. You know what needs to happen."
With these fighting words, a new, robo-martial space race era was born. U.S.-based robotics companyMegaBots issued the challenge late last month, as it put the finishing touches to its Mark 2 model, "America's first fully-functional, giant piloted robot."
At six tons and controlled by two pilots, the Mark 2 fires 3-pound paint cannonballs at speeds of over 100 miles per hour (160 kilometers an hour). The company plans to create a futuristic sports league where the giant robots batter each other into submission.
The video, featuring co-founders Matt Oehrlein and Gui Cavalcanti, challenges the only other company in the world that can give its mechanic behemoth a run for its money. Suidobashi Heavy Industry has created the Kuratas, a towering, single-pilot robot, which is already commercially available.
