GBA To Control Robotic Gaming Bugs?

Mitch Randall writes "The new type of gaming coming of is NOT a video game, but robotic gaming - it's the next step beyond video games, where the characters in play are real, articulated robots. I've been working on robotic gaming technology which has been picked up by a major toy company, and is due for release next year. In addition, the system will be optionally controlled by a Nintendo GameBoy SP. We are assembling GameBoy developers to coordinate the release with several game cartridges." Plenty of hype here, but some some interesting ideas involving a sonic positioning system, too.

    I dunno, the more I read about it, the more it sounds like "Rock 'Em Sock 'Em." You know, the red and the blue robots who punch each other's heads off? Slightly more sophisticated... but not something I'd want to spend more than a few minutes with.
