The Robocraft Boxing Kit is the newest product of the Japanese toy company Tamiya. The robot toys look like the modern day counterpart of the Rock ‘Em, Sock ‘Em Robots, as they do nothing but beat the crap out of each other.
Once the robots are assembled, boxing is controlled with the wired remote that lets you control the robot's movements and punches. The options are limited--just upper-cut and straight jab punches, and forward and backward movement.
