The AI-01 robot puts you into the game of football, like a video game but in 3D. It is a radio controlled robot that drives on two wheels (with 4 casters for balance). The wireless remote control looks and feels like a video game remote. The robot can throw, catch and tackle like the real game.
The robot comes packaged as a quarterback. You control the range and power of the throw, for short "ropers" or a long bomb. The QB bot's catapult like arm can throw the ball six feet. Replaceable arm attachments are included in the box that allow you to set him up as a receiver/lineman.
How does it catch? The ball and the receiver's "hands" both have hook and loop material that makes the ball stick fast. The robot's left arm has a powerful motor that can raise the arms over or behind his head.
When on defense, the hands can be lowered to get under an opponent robot's arms or shoulders and then lift to aid in dynamic tackles.
Buy two or more robots and the back panel controls make you the coach. You can control one robot with your remote, and use the back panel controls to program the second remote to run a fly or buttonhook pattern automatically. Great for practicing your passes.
