Which YCOO Battle Robots should you pick for your child?
Robots are one of the most popular toy choices for children, and combat robots are especially desired among them. One look at the choices in the market and you will know why: they are cute, they are colorful, they come in different sizes, and most importantly, children feel engaged playing with them. You will also be surprised how educational they can be, because such toys often allow kids to express their creativity and enrich their imagination. What does not and should not require imagination, though, is which one your child should play with. And we have a list for you, as we did the research and thinking already:
Will they promote violence?
Contrairement à certaines idées reçues, le robot de combat n’éveille pas la brutalité des enfants. Il leur donne plutôt l’occasion de canaliser leur énergie et les bouts de chou peuvent l’exprimer à travers les robots.
The first question coming to your mind may be that ‘combat robots’ do not sound like they are made for kids. Will children become more violent playing them? The short answer is no. It does not instill the ideal of brutality or cruelty in children, it instead gives them a chance to expand their (often) excessive energy and role playing is associated with improving creativity and social skills, which in turns stimulates creativity.
How does that happen, you may wonder. A lot of toy robots are fun to look at because they are designed to capture the attention of children, which means there are often exaggerated features, such as light effects. Most even have sounds on, and with all the effects, it piques children’s interest and curiosity, and they learn to and create ways to engage with such effects.
The abundance of choices also means that you will always find one that is suitable for any kids of any age range.

Robo Kombat – Balloon Puncher by YCOO
Who says balloons are for parties only? They can be fun in another way! Robo Kombat – Balloon Punchers’ heads are balloons, and they can be a bit air-headed so they require your guidance! The ultimate goal, as the name of the robot suggests, is to pop the other robot’s balloon by punching it. There are 5 actions, which means it requires thinking and strategies to land the lethal punch against the other robot. The sound effect makes the battles even more intense!
Some winning tip… Strike first? Or not. Keep a distance from your opponent and wait for them to attack before you counterattack to land an even more powerful punch… and a victory!
Robot Kombat Twin Pack
Meet our very first combat robot! Similar to the Balloon Buncher, you can carry out 5 commands to beat your opponent. A bit of agility may be required, as you can turn and run around a bit if you feel like frustrating your opponent. The battles are very quite a show as they are enhanced by beautiful play of light and sound effects.
Some winning tips…Robots need training too! So use it against a punching bag to optimise your chances of knocking out your opponent.
Petit Plus : Want to make it even more fun? One battle can have up to FOUR robots! Just make sure they are of different colors to avoid confusion.
Robot Kombat Viking Bi Pack
Similar to the previously mentioned model, this one has a more intimidating design – as the robots are sporting a Viking-themed gear. Their aggressive look with the horn adorned helmet and armor will give you a definite advantage over your opponents!
What should I take into consideration when buying a YCOO robot?
Design
Eyes don’t lie, so if the design does not appeal to the kids, it’s extremely unlikely they will ever try to play with the robot. Ask for their opinions so you won’t run the risk of buying something they don’t like, and they will feel like their opinions are respected too!
The age group of your children
Younger children may prefer brighter colors, or cuter designers. More older kids, Robot Kombat Viking may be a more suitable option!
The power supply mode
The YCOO combat robots by Silverlit are remote-controlled and run on batteries. A battery power supply allows the robot to be used instantly after replacing the batteries, which cuts down any unnecessary waiting time.
