MaruBot Football Table Brings Foosball Into The 20th Century

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 5 of October , 2009 at 12:54 am

For those of us who don’t have our own robot soccer team, or for those of us who totally suck at foosball, MaruBot takes the classic game and replaces those stupid little men on their stupid little rods that are impossible to control with ROBOTS that go where you tell them to and aren’t restricted to one dimension of movement. There are versions of the table for two or four players, and although the robots don’t appear to have the ability to pass or shoot, their eyes do emote when you score or get scored on. Currently only available in Korea, it probably won’t find too much success here in the states since everybody is just going to be wondering where the helmets and pads are. Yeah, we’re lame like that.
