    Remember Rockem Sockem Robots?

    Well forget them. This is the modern RF controlled, LED version. They’re called Battroborg motion controlled battling robots. You control  the robot and hopefully control and win the battle. You knock out your opponent by serving up five contact punches to the head – of their Battroborg, not their head, of course. Each of you has a wireless hand controller to master the art of combat. Battroborg's radio control technology also allows you to host a Battle Royal where up to 20 robots can battle at one time! And if you find yourself by yourself, there’s auto drone mode where you can battle against a self-activated Battroborg robot for up two minutes. They’re a endless ways to way Battroborg Robots. On Amazon the cheapest way to go that I could find is the Battroborg 3-in-1 Battle Arena, Clopto vs. Cobalt set. It includes two Battroborg Robots, the controllers and the arenas. Requires 8 AA batteries, which are not included. Be aware that the Battroborg Robots are small, just about 3” to 4" high. The complete arena measures: 16" x 20" x 4" and is recommended for ages 6 years and up. $79.99 and it’s on Amazon Prime for free shipping if you’re a Prime member.

    I did not get to play with the Battroborgs. I had them sent directly to TWiT so they could play with them and show off better with their multiple cameras. So watch the TWiT video to see how they performed.
