Another hot gadget that will be a big hit for Christmas is the Mr Soccer Robot Football. This is the first multi player, remote controlled robot football game. These are small remote controlled football players that you can have hours of fun with. In the starter pack you get 2 players, one from England and one from Brazil, and the set includes a pitch, ball and goal posts. You can customise your players with stickers and you can also alter their football boots to help them play to their best. The controls are easy with a standard forward, backward, left and right directional keys with an added shoot button. If you need to get to grips with controlling these budding David Beckham’s then you can flip the football pitch over and practice on the training ground.

The set can take up to 14 individual football robots, each working off their own frequency. But in our opinion this would make the football pitch that is provided rather cramp, so you would be best creating a new pitch for them to run around on. If you want one they will be available from Firebox in the UK, so get them pre-ordered.
