Photos from a San Francisco robot fight night show two humanoid robots — including an eye-catching purple-pink mecha — brawling for real inside a plexiglass-enclosed ring, with debris flying and spectators filming ringside. Organized by the SF hard-tech community, the event delivered on its "mecha dreams" promise; one photo shows robot wreckage being carried off on a stretcher.
