This is the saddest thing I’ve ever seen. Since getting a Pleo a few months ago, we’ve basically given the bugger a name and gotten to know its personality. To watch this Combot tear Pleo up at Maker Faire is like watching a wolf eat a mouse — it’s no contest
Basically Ugobe donated Pleo for this contest and they put it in with Vicious Verdict, a combat robot used for Battlebot contests. Once VV winds up a little, all hell breaks loose. Very, very sad… and kudos to Ugobe for making a device that humans can love.

Eventually, one pleo somewhere will fight back and then the world will plunge into darkness.
Hahahaha, this is definitely worthy of Best Comment Ever (take notice Doug)!
On another note, Ugobe donated a Pleo to this thing?
Wow, I didnt know what a Pleo was until today, but watching the little guy move around and then get murdered really was sad.
Call me sick… but this kinda put a smile on my face.
Reminds me of that scene in AI when they’re about to kill Haley Joel Osment… so sad…
