    Trainers controlled their robots remotely with joysticks.

    soo not autonomous? just more expensive battlebots… yawn.

      Pretty sure it’s at least semi-autonomous. In the video you can see the bots react to hits and recover their footing, there’s no way a human can control all those reflex actions in real time.

        Nlow that was a great show. I always wanted in on that too. Back when Radio Shack still dealt in parts for remote control cars.
