Direct your own robot wars with FPS battle bot GEIO

Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics decree robots should never harm a human, but make no mention of them kicking seven shades out of each other. Which is great for GEIO (from $99), a dinky droid that scoots about while getting all shooty. Battles are directed by smartphones, an app fusing a heads-up display and touchscreen controls with whatever your GEIO’s gawping at. There’s scope for (virtually) blowing other GEIOs away using custom weapons collected on the battlefield, or partaking in speed races, like a deranged robot MarioKart. In its downtime, the AI-infused ‘bot can apparently interact with you, too, and is capable of curiosity and melancholy. Just hope the little blighters don’t hit on a fourth law when feeling glum: “Ignore the first three, and finally give those hairless apes a kicking”.
