MakePhilly Idea: Battle Beetles!

So I missed MakePhilly this weekend due to school. Again. Ugh.
In an attempt to make up for this, here’s another fun idea! If making Bristlebots is too taxing, perhaps some pre-made battling robots would be best for you. These RC Beetle robots from Sega duke it out hardcore, the remote giving you full control of the beetle’s movement, including the front appendages.
In between battles, you can use the training target to keep your little bugger in peak shape. Check out the toys over at Brando, complete with a cool flash video of two fighting.

Cool Idea, though it’d be neat to some bristlebot races
Ya missed a good meeting!
