Episode 420 – Giant Robots – 10/19/17

With home 3D printers, laser cutters, and virtual reality headsets, we’re truly living in an awesome future. And that’s before we watched two giant robots beat each other up on a livestream. This week, we talk about the big MegaBots match, Surface Book 2, and Pixel 2 camera reviews. Plus, we pay a visit to Elon’s shower thoughts!

  1. Jeremy, FYI, for the Pirates pinball game, with 105 scenes and 5 random scenes per game, that’s over 96.5 million possible combinations.

  2. Just watched the giant robot battle and I agree with Kishore. The woman saying “I’m a robot expert and I think we need to run away now!” was contrived. They have some work to do to close the gap between their robot technology and the production value they are going for. The fact that BattleBots did not get green lit for another season is not encouraging for the robot battle genera. They were just starting to get good!

  3. i’d take dancing robots, but what i really wanna see is the giant robot bake-off.

    oh my god.

    Only if Simone is somehow involved as the Queen.
