This is neither an episode of Astro Boy, nor is it a sequel to Robot Jox; instead, it is a real event, where the world's fastest robot went up against a Nintendo Wii Remote.
The Quattro, a sorting arm developed by Adept, was recently crowned "World's Fastest Robot". It's used to, well, sort things. And it is fast.

But is a Wii Remote faster? Or a human being? An event held during National Robotics week sought to put that to the test, pitting fleshbags - holding a Wii Remote - against the Quattro, as people were asked to try and move a small platform (using the controller) faster than the robot could manage.
So, who won? Find out in the video above.
