Setup
Battery Installation
Batteries are not included and must be purchased separately. Each robot and each remote control requires batteries for operation.
- For each robot: 3 "AA" batteries are required.
- For each remote control: 2 "AAA" batteries are required.
- Locate the battery compartment on the back or bottom of each robot and remote control.
- Using a small screwdriver (not included), open the battery compartment cover.
- Insert the required batteries, ensuring correct polarity (+/-).
- Replace the battery compartment cover and secure it with the screw.
Powering On and Pairing
The robots and remote controls use infrared technology for communication. Pairing should occur automatically when both devices are powered on.
- Ensure fresh batteries are installed in both the robot and its corresponding remote control.
- Turn on the power switch on both the robot and the remote control. The LED eyes on the robot should illuminate, indicating it is ready.
- Each remote control is designed to operate its corresponding robot (red remote for red robot, blue remote for blue robot).
Operating Instructions
The Robo Rage set offers two modes of play: 1-on-1 battle and single-player vs. AI.
Remote Control Functions
Each remote control allows you to maneuver your robot and execute punches.
- Movement Controls: Use the directional controls to move your robot forward, backward, and turn.
- Punch Buttons: Dedicated buttons for left and right punches.
- Combo Punches: Experiment with pressing punch buttons in sequence to create powerful combo attacks.
Game Modes
- 1-on-1 Battle: Challenge a friend to a duel. Each player controls one robot. The objective is to knock down your opponent's robot.
- Single-Player vs. AI: Practice your skills against an artificial intelligence opponent. This mode helps you refine your tactics and control before facing another player.
Fighting Mechanics
The goal of the game is to knock down your opponent's robot. Robots balance on two wheels, making them susceptible to being knocked over by well-placed punches.
- Knockout (K.O.): A robot is knocked out when it falls over. The player whose robot remains standing wins the round.
- Power Fists: Combine punches to deliver stronger attacks and increase your chances of a knockout.

LED Indicators
The robots feature LED eyes that change color to indicate their status during battle.
- Ready: Indicates the robot is powered on and ready for battle.
- Knockout: Indicates a robot has been knocked down.
- Double Knockout: Occurs if both robots are knocked down simultaneously.
