Mekamon Robot V2 Grey

The MekaMon is a small robot that allows for spectacular battles to be fought. The fights take place in an augmented reality world. Essentially, the MekaMon is a toy robot the size of a shoebox, reminiscent of the spider tanks Tachikoma from Ghost in the Shell. It is controlled via the accompanying app for iPhone or Android smartphones. It can walk on its four legs, duck, tilt, roll, overcome small obstacles, or play dead. It becomes exciting when used with the camera. When you point the robot and a specially patterned mat, a virtual battlefield forms around them, complete with obstacles like boulders, buildings, and walls. In a single-player campaign with various missions, players must use the MekaMon to protect labs from hostile slime aliens, take down weapon towers, or shoot down combat drones. For this, the robot is equipped before the battle with plastic attachment weapons and a virtual arsenal of shields, laser cannons, EMP grenades, and rockets. The weapon systems are activated through the app's touch interface and are dramatically showcased on the display. Projectiles whiz around and explode into fireballs. Up to four players can compete against each other with their MekaMon and engage in battles. They are connected via infrared sensors. Hits with energy blasts or laser lances are registered, prompting the little robots to react with jerky movements. Similar to a video game, the robots have a health bar that decreases with each attack. However, the plastic spiders are not designed for real battles involving physical contact.
