I guess it was only a matter of time before robots started to replace our athletes. Let’s face it, they’ve gotten a little boring, haven’t they? Getting paid thousands of Euros per week to kick a ball around. Bet they can’t kick it as fast as this Castrol build robot!

This monster was build in Japan and can kick a football at over 200km per hour which is roughly 120mph. Unfortunately, it won’t be making its debut on a team any time soon. I can imagine it’s down to the whole ‘killing an opposing player’ thing.

It’s ladled as an exhibition robot and was first launched to the public yesterday. Big news agencies such as Sky News caught it kicking a football on camera. As you can see from the picture above it’s basically a four wheeled machine with a spring loaded ‘foot’ on the left hand side. It’s controlled by a human operator.

This crazy spectacle will be kicking footballs at 200km/h over the next year all over Japan. Check out the power of this thing here.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear as though YouTube are taking any steps to secure broadcasting rights for Western sports such as football (World Cup 2010 would be a great launching pad), Golf, Rugby, American Football, Basketball or Tennis – all of which would have a huge audience. Perhaps they’re seeing how people adapt to watching sports online in a less prominent market before they go mainstream on YouTube.com.

They are due to begin broadcasting cricket on YouTube in March.

So, who would have though the first sport to receive mainstream online broadcasting attention would be Indian Cricket?
