Asimo's post-tournament interview
[ Music ] ^M00:00:06
>> Hold on. Here, sorry to interrupt you. We are
getting word that the Honda Asimo has won the
non-violent robot championship. We now go to a press
conference in Japan City, Japan.
^M00:00:22 [ Applause and cheering ] ^M00:00:48
>> Yeah, you in the shirt. Ah hem.
>> Asimo, first of all, congratulations on the win. You
really dominated, I think, from the outset. I think
everyone was really pulling for you. There weren't a
lot of surprises.
>> Yeah, thanks.
>> I just wanted to ask you what was your game plan
going into this, and how did you prepare for D?
>> Well, you know, D's a -- D's a tough competitor. He
always brings his A-game. I just wanted to go out there
and give 110 percent. And sometimes I would literally
give 110 percent because there was a glitch with the
online polling system. But regardless, you know, I just
want to thank God for giving me the strength to compete,
and I got some good looks out there, got some tough
breaks, and some folks just went my way.
>> Asimo.
>> Yeah, you in the sombrero.
>> Before the tourney, people were talking about
early-upset. A lot of people talked about the stair
incident and that you were late for practice.
>> You're talking about practice, man? We're talking
about practice? We'll talk about practice, man. We're
talking about practice. We're going to talk about the
game, we're talking about practice, man. You come in
the arena, you see me play, you see me give everything
I've got, right?
>> Absolutely --
>> Practice.
>> Well I'm just --
>> Practice. Practice, man, we're talking about
practice. Yeah, you in the shoes.
>> Probably the toughest draw of the number one
[Inaudible], you have the ballroom dancing robot, the
[Inaudible] fridge, and the Sony [Inaudible] --
>> Let me tell you something, there are no easy draws in
this tournament. Every draw is tough. You've just got
to go out there and give 110 to 120%, and you've just
got to battle every step of the way. And I'm not
literally talking about battle, because that's against
the rules.
>> Hey Asimo! What's this thing here about sex with fax
machines, huh?
>> Hey, get him out of here.
>> Huh? We want the truth!
>> I'm not going to talk about my personal life; I'm not
taking any more questions.
^M00:02:52 [ Applause and cheering ] ^M00:03:02
>> Asimo has left the building.
^M00:03:05 [ Applause and cheering ]
