4. Summary
A brand new type of robotic toy is coming out. Also from what I gather in the article, they plan on making it to where the robots battle each other. The idea for these new toys came from creator Jamie Mantzel.

5. Reaction
I think its a cool idea. I mean who wouldn't want a disc slinging robotic pall to terrorize the household with. Really my only concern is if it will be durable. Like many toys of this age, will it break in a week, or can it survive a few years. Truthfully for the price of $112 unless it has a 2 year warranty on it I am not going to risk it.

6. World Impact
As for the world, I think it is already showing signs of a "world" toy. But when it comes down to impact, not so much. Now if they could take that design and turn them into 10ft tall walking monstrosities, then I would be impressed. Another thing that's concerning me is if the robot will do as the controller says. Now I don't mean like will the robots revolt or anything, but will the controls be properly attuned to the robots movement.
