Overview

A four-legged augmented-reality battle robot. With a phone pointed at it, it fights virtual enemies or other MekaMons, while its spider-like gait looked far more alive than wheeled toy bots. Apple sold it in its stores and it gained Swift Playgrounds programming. Reach Robotics shut down in September 2019, citing the difficulty of the consumer robotics market.
