Robohash Wars

After scrolling down to the footer, I found http://robohash.org/ linked: "Robohash is a easy web service that makes it easy to provide unique, robot/alien/monster/whatever images for any text. Put in any text, such as IP address, email, filename, userid, or whatever else you like, and get back a pretty image for your site."

I'm not sure what's supposed to happen.

based on http://robohash.org/ but doesn't seem to add anything other than the ability to see two robots side by side

I recall the original robohash thread. This is obviously something built using it. I'm mostly curious about how this made it to the #1 article with only 9 votes, in 20 minutes.

The "wars" and "Fight!" implies the robots will actually battle in some way. It's not clear that your site doesn't do anything but show you the non-fighting robots.

we would have called it robohashsidebysidecomparison.com but it didn't seem as sexy.
