This is NOT a robot its an RC biped

If RC is good enough for robot wars it's good enough for this!

But Robot Wars was up front about this use of remote control. The ccp hides it and miss labels them as "robots" which implies self controlling.

Also robot wars was a tv show, this article is pure propaganda lies to make it seem china came up w/ something new that the US and Europe had down 15 years ago or more.

It's not hiding it... It's in the rules.

You're acting like this is one monolithic ccp program, but there are engineering teams from many universities and companies competing here. This is in fact a lot like Robot Wars, it's just a flashy robotics competition, there are a lot of these.

The Chinese government didn't build any of these robots, none of them. They don't have any claim to have invented something new, because they didn't invent anything. What I'm saying is, your complaints don't make any sense.

Don't bash the article before you read it.
