BeeWii's Bluetooth toys let you form your own robot fight club Jan 8th 2014, 19:40, by Philip Michaels LAS VEGAS—The First Law of Robotics may declare that robots can't injure humans or allow them to come to harm. But Isaac Asimov never said anything about robots harming each other for our amusement. The Bluetooth Fighting Robots that BeeWii has on display at International CES this week do their battling with infrared lights instead of thunderous punches. You control the palm-sized pugilists with a mobile device—BeeWii offers apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone users. The controls mimic a gamepad with a d-pad for maneuvering your robot around and buttons to fire off infrared blasts at your adversary. Think of it as a form of laser tag, only with miniature robots. Photo: Philip Michaels Do not be fooled by his friendly appearance—the Bluetooth Fighting Robot will destroy you. Unfortunately, you'll have to wait a bit if you're ready to rumble: The $34 Bluetooth Fighting Robot isn't expected to ship until May or June, BeeWii says.
