Robotic cockfighting at the Robo-One Championships
by Doug Aamoth on March 25, 2008

The most recent tournament played host to 112 robots ranging from your standard karate-bot to the more interesting chicken robot named “Leghorn” which looks like — you guessed it — Foghorn Leghorn, complete with the stylistically-loud tourist shirt.
