Well, the movie they made based on almost the exact same premise wasn't exactly a blockboster... But still, looks like fun!

Withe the American team involving also NASA isn't funny anymore. Wasn't this about a challange between two companies? The American company got too much external help, it seems unbalanced.

Not going to be pretty. Both bots have weaknesses the other team will be looking at.

The American company isn't really a company; more like bunch of guys junkyard junkies having fun building a robot.

Well they got Nasa for their job, so this robot won't be made by beginners as you are implying.

No, it'll still be made by the junkyard junkies; they'll just get some help from NASA.
But NASA won't be building it for them.
