February 12 — HASBRO/TIGER ELECTRONICS ANNOUNCE BATTLEBOTS TOY DEAL
Hasbro, the premiere toy and game manufacturer, along with their sister company Tiger Electronics, have agreed to terms with BattleBots Inc., and are slated to launch a line of BattleBots toys and games which many industry analysts predict will be the hottest new line of 2001. Although still “under construction,” the toy robot line will boast some of the most advanced remote control technology and features the industry has seen. Add to that the other remarkable toy and game products set to appear this summer, and it is clear that BattleBots, the smash TV hit, is on the fast track to becoming the year’s hottest toys as well.

The minirobot was built at Sandia National Laboratories to demonstrate that microminiaturized autonomous vehicles could handle jobs as diverse as locating land mines, detecting chemical or biological weapons, and prowling around buildings on surveillance missions.”
