I never cease to be amazed at the cool stories that come out of Japan. I was there a couple of years ago for a brief visit, but would love to go back and sample more of the culture.

I found out today that there's [a contest](http://spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robotics/diy/hebocon-the-best-worst-robot-competition) where robots made from toys, food and other items battle it out. I wonder if you get disqualified for being too good.
