Two bots enter! Two bots leave!

When you have two or more little kids to keep busy - especially, let’s be real, boys - sometimes the best you can hope for is that they turn their unstoppable destructive energy at each other. Better that than turning it toward you, your stuff, your other family members, or any innocent bystanders who might do something inconvenient like “bleed” or “press charges”.

Shoo the little monsters outside with this pair of Flying RC Battle Bots. At first, they’ll engage in aerial laser combat. It will be non-contact. Low-impact. Compared to what comes next, almost graceful.

Because, with that unerring instinct for maximal mayhem, the kids are going to figure out it’s even more fun to just crash them into walls. And trees. And the ground. And each other.

After dozens of those bot-breaking collisions will come another discovery: these Battle Bots are really fun to throw at each other. Something about the pendulous weight of their bodies under the blades keeps them flying often enough, and unpredictably enough, to make for one crazy battle. We, um, may or may not have thrown ours around the office. Oh, hell, screw it: we did and it was awesome.

In a final regression to the caves, once the battle-scarred bots are damaged beyond any hope of flight, the kids will just start hitting each other with them. Your little darlings will turn these futuristic flying cyberwarriors into simple bludgeoning weapons. Most boys get over that evolutionary hump eventually, but it’s only natural there will be a few slides down the slope along the way.

All you can do is try to minimize the damage and protect the innocent. These Flying RC Battle Bots will do the trick for a little while. That’s fifteen minutes down, fifteen more years to go. Or, in our case, more like thirty years. And counting.
