Combat Creatures Attacknid Stryder is a six-legged robot that moves with spider-like motions across multiple terrains, including carpet, grass, and snow. Kids control Stryder using the wireless R/C handset, which uses 2.4 GHz chip technology to allow multiple robots to battle at one time or multiple robots to be controlled from a single handset. You'll need to sync the handset and the robot before you play by turning on the handset and then turning on the robot. Wait two to three seconds before pressing any of the directional buttons on the handset, and then the syncing process will be complete. The instructions say that the light on the handset will flash red until you press the button, but ours actually flashed green sometimes and red sometimes.
There are two modes of play. Training mode lets kids practice moving the robot and firing the 12 included darts. Wow! Stuff says the darts can fly up to 50 feet. We never quite got that distance, but it was close enough for satisfying play. In Battle mode, kids can take on their friends Attacknids, which are sold separately, for competitive play. Aim for the enemy Attacknid's battle brain, and if it receives three direct shots, the robot shuts down. If you hit the Attacknid's Exploda-Armor on its legs in just the right spot, the armor will pop off.
