The following info on BattleBots toys was found on the Hasbro web
site during February 2001:
ROBOTS
Robots are an emerging trend in the toy and game business. At the head of this trend, Hasbro's 2001 line has several "robots" and robot-themed products, including:
- BATTLEBOTS: If you think boxing, hockey and wrestling have action, wait until you see BATTLEBOTS...the emerging sport of live robotic combat seen on Comedy Central and pay-per-view events! Imagine a face-off between Hollywood's best artists and NASA's greatest scientists ...put them in a modernistic boxing ring (BattleBox) and youčre just scratching the surface of what BATTLEBOTS is all about. On the show, BATTLEBOTS contestants design and build radio-controlled robots weighing up to 488 lbs. that employ an array of "weaponry" such as hammers, saws and spikes. This is the ultimate contest of engineering, strategy and creativity...the goal is survival! Tiger will be introducing a line of BATTLEBOTS robots that kids can build, customize and then put into action. Approximate retail: 14.99-29.99; Availability: Fall 2001. COME SEE THE ACTUAL BATTLEBOTS, DIRECT FROM THE SHOW, BATTLE EACH OTHER ON MONDAY, FEBRUARY 12 AT 6:00 P.M. AT THE HASBRO SHOWROOM.
