Hello. I am Goh. From Malaysia. I would like to ask you about the humanoid robot. May I know which type of robot that Japanese using in Robot fighting competition? I can saw a lot of aluminium frame robot in competition. But when I online searching, there are only some plastic frame humanoid robot for sales. Is it the aluminium frame robot is customized by the owner?
