Combat Creatures are little, spider-like robots with six legs. The first versions of these robots are known as Attacknids, and they can fight each other, firing projectiles with a range of 30 feet. If you can knock the shields off the legs of your opponent, you score points.

While the little robots are cool, this giant version is something to behold. Wow! Stuff, showed off a 5-foot-tall version of its Stryder robot last week at the Pepcom holiday gift event in San Francisco. The one-of-a-kind giant Stryder shook the ground when it walked, and it fired a giant foam missile at a human dummy target.
