Thanks! I got a few questions though:
-Wouldn't the infared signals get mixed up?
-Are the Bionicle "Manas" (pulling out Bionicle comic book to check spelling)
set part of the line?
-Is the "Hammer & Beakon" set an accessory pack?
Hopefully, nobody will think they can make a robot good enough to fight on the
BattleBots TV show. We all know the consequences of that:
