MekaMon from Reach Robotics-- Robots vs. Augmented Reality

Reach Robotics, a company out in the UK, just opened up preorders for their robot battling system called "MekaMon":



At its essence, it's a robot you can control remotely via Bluetooth using a smartphone app. Single-player gameplay uses "augmented reality"; you pilot the robot to go after virtual targets. Multi-player is straight up Mek vs. Mek battling. Eventually you'll be able to physically mod your robot with upgrade parts like weapons and shields.

Current pricing is $330 for one, $600 for a set of 2, pre-orderable through their site (https://www.mekamon.com) with the first shipment of 500 set for January '17.

Really stoked about this one, I was a fan of the Combat Creatures Attacknids when they first came out, and this just takes remote control robot battling to another level
