About this title

Review

Ever wanted to create your own radio-controlled robot? DK has trumped its Ultimate Robot Kit with the Robot Challenge Kit for inventor-warriors ages 8 and older. This oversized gift package combines a construction kit, a radio-controlled chassis, and blueprints for an elaborate game of strategy and skill. Most of the components of the robot models are made from punch-out paperboard labeled with intriguing designations such as "Red Challenger Rear Armor" and "Robot Master Deflector." After the construction is complete, the player learns to operate the Robot Challenger by following the training manual through a series of exercises. (Here is a sample from the manual: "Position the sphere in the Cadet sphere mount. You need to practice maneuvering with the sphere, because if it is dislodged in battle you are defeated. You should remove your tusk, lance, and deflector.") Only when the training is complete can players face their ultimate goal--to challenge and defeat the Robot Master, following battle plans (watch out for pits, mines, and deadly traps!) that become more difficult as they gain more skill. Go ahead, rise from the ranks of Cadet and become the Ultimate Robot Challenger. Why not? One 9V and two 1.5V AA batteries not included. (Ages 8 and older)
