Get Ready To Do Robot Battles With The GEIO Battle Bots

Gungho Cowboy

Perhaps you are still ruing with disappointment that the much anticipated Giant Robot much was more of a letdown rather than point the future of robot fighting. If you are, why not do some robot battles yourself without breaking the bank? You might just get the opportunity to do it albeit you will have to make do with tiny battle bots.

In this case, you might want to check the GEIO Battle Bot and get to battle other GEIO Battle Bots using First Person View (FPV). Yes, the FPV that we see in being used in racing drones. GEIO Battle Bots get to shoot at each other whilst being controlled remotely using Augmented Reality:

GEIO is engineered to present you the most indulging robotic battle experience, equipped with First Person Shooter (FPS) and Visual Recognition system. The power behind GEIO is attributed to the groundbreaking artificial intelligence (AI) technology.

Not exactly as exciting as those battle bots that you see on TV or the already available Gankers, but you can have good robot fighting sessions with friends with the GEIO as they are affordable enough to get a set and have a battle bot party. You get to control a GEIO with a smartphone. The GEIO bots are agile enough that running after one to “disable” or “destroy” should be fun.

Too bad they do not fire projectiles like those mini airsoft tanks in the market.

A curious feature of the GEIOs is that they can scan a totem or symbols that are printed on cardboard boxes which are placed in a set battle area. Special abilities or powers can be achieved and used against the opposing GEIOs such as freeze powers, confuse the enemy, or increase firepower, or energy recovery. Even more curious is that it will have its own personality --- “GEIO will show you its feelings from curious, grateful to melancholy.”

Unfortunately, you can’t have this for Christmas, even as the Kickstarter page says that that the team behind GEIO has already achieved the funding goals. Their target for shipping out will be in February 2018 so some patience will have to be required before you get your GEIO.

We might get our own GEIOs as it would be nice to do some robot battles inside the office as we wait for the next airsoft weekend.
