Robot battles in Detroit feature advanced technology, artificial intelligence
"I don't know where else you'd see something like this," Shubham Tiwari said. "A bunch of robots destroying each other."
The world's latest and most advanced robotic technology was seen on full display, and in full battle mode on Seven Mile Road in Detroit.
"Awesome, awesome experience," Johnny Washington Jr. said.
The Robo War is a new concept from the Interactive Combat League, where 9-foot-tall iron gladiators in a steel suit with AI technology battle against each other, with 30 different robots from around the country competing.
The excitement doesn't stop once attendees are in the arena. Robo War Announcer Jordan Scavone told us about the event while a knockout was happening right behind him.
"The Interactive Combat League is the ultimate ... Oh my gosh! Sorry," Scavone said when the knockout happened. "The Interactive Combat League is the ultimate hybrid of combat sports and video games."
Saturday's event featured Detroit taking on Atlanta and Los Angeles facing Phoenix, with both fights captivating the crowd and creating an experience that may just be the future of fighting.
"I've seen professional wrestling, I've seen MMA, boxing, but never in my life have I seen 9-foot gladiators put them things together and get to 1-2 punch everybody," Robo War Announcer DeSean Whipple said.
The next Robo War event is on Aug. 16.

Private carrier Flexjet valued at $4 billion in latest funding round, Financial Times reports
(Reuters) -U.S. private jet operator Flexjet raised $800 million in a funding round led by LVMH-backed private equity firm L Catterton, valuing the company at about $4 billion, Financial Times reported on Monday. The funding comes as Flexjet looks to expand its fleet to meet rising demand from technology and cryptocurrency entrepreneurs, the report said. "We have a tremendous amount of different types of entrepreneurs this year. . . in the tech space but also Bitcoin, they become so speculative and so there is rapid wealth in that industry," Flexjet Chair Kenn Ricci told the newspaper. Flexjet did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Earlier in February, Brazilian planemaker Embraer signed a purchase deal worth up to $7 billion with Flexjet for a fleet of Phenom and Praetor executive jets, including firm orders for 182 aircraft and options for another 30. Analysts at JPMorgan expect the deal to increase Embraer's total backlog by about 26% to $28.7 billion, forecasting deliveries over the next five years, as Flexjet plans to double its fleet during the period.

This Lenovo laptop with 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD is only $450 right now
It's hard to get a laptop under $500 these days, much less one with good stats. But, with this deal on a Lenovo laptop (the Lenovo V15), you can do just that. To cut to the chase, it has 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD and costs just $450 after a 70% discount off of its normal $1,499 price point. That's a savings of $1,050. As a result, this has to be one of the best laptop deals going on right now if you're after raw stats. We predict this to be a popular deal that may sell out quickly, plus there's the fear that the deal will end — Amazon has labelled it a 'limited time deal' for a reason — so go ahead and tap the button below to get your order started before it's too late. But there's more to this computer than RAM and some storage, of course, so keep on reading to get all of the details. Why you should buy a Lenovo 15.6-inch V15 Laptop Naturally, the top three reasons to get this laptop are the (temporary) $450 price tag, 32GB of RAM, and 1TB SSD. The combo makes for a great browsing and work computer, capable of holding a ton of files, pictures, and .ppt or .pdf files while also running RAM-heavy software and keeping your dozens of Chrome tabs supported. The rest of the laptop's configuration only goes to reinforce this. The 15.6-inch screen is, naturally, just perfect for keeping larger spreadsheets open and it's also big enough to support the all important numpad on the keyboard for data entry, and there's a USB-C port and HDMI jack for connecting to a second monitor while at home. While the screen is 1080p, that's still great for YouTube tutorials simple roguelike gaming. Next, it has an Intel Celeron N4500 processor, which Lenovo describes as allowing you to 'comfortably handle basic activities' such as those described above. The whole package is rounded out by the laptop's Wi-Fi 6 connectivity for quick data transfers. Getting a Lenovo 15.-inch V15 laptop for just $450, a savings of $1,050 over the usual $1,500, is an incredibly great deal. But it is likely to go away soon, either as a result of selling out or due to Amazon's 'limited time deal' ending shortly. Tap the button below to get yours while the deal is still on.
