Battroborg Motion-Controlled Battling Robots Game

Battroborg Motion-Controlled Battling Robots Game

Battroborg Motion-Controlled Battling Robots GameBattroborg, the award-winning motion-controlled battling robots game from TOMY that paved the way for a new generation of battling. This fun and inter-active game is for the older kids (ages 6 and up) and adults.

Battroborg requires 8 AA batteries that you need to supply. Other than that, it is ready to go right out of the box. You can find this fabulous toy/game at Walmart across the nation.

The set includes:

* 2 Robots
* 4 Drones (cardboard)
* Fighting Ring (some assembly required)
* 2 remote control sticks

After receiving this, I had hubby sit down and read through all of the instructions. He then spent about 10 minutes assembling the fighting ring and getting everything ready. With our set, we got 2 of the fighting robots but there are 8 in total that you can purchase. Kids love to collect them all, so if buying the game as a gift, pick up a few extra robots while you are at it.

The fighting ring can be set up 2 different ways: (a) The 1-on-1 Gauntlet and (b) the Combat 1. If using it on the 1-on-1 Gauntlet set-up…you will want to have the one robot fight the 4 cardboard robots which stand along the side of the ring but behind the ropes. This is great for when you have ONLY 1 child playing.

The Combat 1 set-up is for when you have 2 or more children (or adults) playing at once. This is where all of the robots fight one another in the middle of the ring.

We invited our 15 year old and 13 year old nephews over to our house to spend some “family” time with us. They were really excited to see the Battroborg game set up and waiting for them to play. The boys love inter-active, fighting-action games like this.

Hubby spent about 5 minutes showing them how to play and how the remote control sticks worked. After that, they were on their own and quickly had their robots fighting one another. I apologize for the “darkish” photos, we had just lost power from a storm so they were playing it with just natural daylight coming in one of my windows.

I have to admit, this is one cool game/toy! After they played for an hour, I got in on the action and got my butt kicked by the 13 year old. Geesh! When the robot is moving around and doing his fighting moves…there is a light that lights up on his “backpack” which was really cool when playing the game at night or when lights are dim.

Overall, the boys love this game! Since receiving it, they have been over 3 times to play it and now they got my husband hooked on it too. They all give it a HUGE 2-thumbs up!

Design & Drill Socket to Me Toy Set

Design & Drill Socket to Me Toy SetToday I would like to introduce you to the company called Educational Insights based out of Southern California. Educational Insights is the manufacturer of playful products with serious educational value, including subject-specific classroom products, teacher resources, educational toys, and games. Their products are designed by seasoned educators and parents who know that children love to learn when you make that learning experience fun!

The company sent me the Design & Drill Socket to Me Set to review for all of you. I was pretty excited about this one because I don’t have very many “boy” toys here in my home. When my nephews and god son visit, often times they play with Gianna’s toys, so now I finally have a boy toy!

This particular set is made for children ages 4 and up. You will want to adhere to that age guideline due to the small parts which can pose a choking hazard. What is really cool about this set is that no batteries are required! Yay!

Design & Drill Socket to Me Toy Set

The set includes:

1 socket wrench with forward & reverse switch
4 shaped activity boards
30 multi-colored bolts

The 4 design projects included are: Boat, Race Car, Robot and the Rocket.

My Thoughts: I love toys and games that don’t require batteries! That is a huge plus for me these days! All little boys love play tools and this set is no exception. My god son loves this set and as a god mother, I love that the set allows him to sit still and to get creative while improving his fine motor skills.

Besides the 4 projects that are included, your child can come up with their own designs/projects. Plus, Educational Insights sells additional products to go along with this one like the Design & Drill Screwdriver, Extra packs of Bolts, Design & Drill Drill and so forth. Your child can really build up a collection of these items which will really expand their design horizons!

We love this set and I will tell you a little secret: My grand daughter and hubby love playing with it too!
