Description

Do robots dream of electric sheep after a long day of manufacturing widgets and thingamabobs? Or do they sleep at all? Maybe they break off into teams and hop into the machine to blow off a little steam with a race for anodic glory and a chance at upgrading themselves into more skilled bots. Into the Machine is a highly tactical race in which circle-bots race to one end of the machine to tag in their hex-bot teammates who race in reverse on the same track to win. A pit crew of bots outside the machine are sent to work the terminals, moving and manipulating their teammates in the machine. —description from the publisher
