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."

right, we just built this site as a quick way of doing fun comparisons between robohashes to see which looks cooler

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

It seems to ... generate different robot images, based on the names you type in, I guess?

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

it's just a quick way of comparing robohashes to see which looks cooler!

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.

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.
