The launch of the MANOI AT01 humanoid robot kit, featured in our Winter 2006 issue, was an instant success with many stores in Japan selling out of stock within a few days of its September introduction. So it was no surprise when a large number of customers turned out with their robots fully assembled and customized to compete in the first Kyosho Athletics Humanoid Cup event on December 10th in the trendy Omotesando Hills complex in Tokyo.
The inaugural Kyosho Athlete Humanoid Cup event was of keen interest to robot fans everywhere. The images below tell the story of how this exciting competition unfolded.
