Sumo Robots

Sumo Robots

The obsession with robots fighting goes all the way back to Rock ‘Em Sock ‘Em Robots, if not beyond, and those weren’t even real robots. Sumo Robots ($50) jab their arms just like those plastic guys, but they also have an infrared sensor beam to zero in on a target. Once the opponent is located, look out, because Sumo Robot zooms over on treaded wheels to knock him out of the ring.
