Though the USA MegaBots Team we've been obsessively following and recently interviewed is still far away from its epic robot showdown with Japan, they've just entered our favorite development phase: weapons testing. But instead of wooden targets or helpless cars, they turn the $200K mech's weapons on itself!

Prudently, the MegaBots opt for a test dummy in the cockpit before they fire up the meanest paintball gun we've seen (with 250Gs of impact force) and call in a concrete wrecking ball to pulverize their precious fighting machine in the name of science.
