My son Robert Hogg was very into RoboWar at one time. He is now a robotics
engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Lab. He and I and three others have an iPhone
software business on the side called Toy Kite Software and we just released our
first game called iSamurai: Two-Player Sword Fight.
Lately I have been thinking that it would be awesome to have a
commercially-viable successor to RoboWar, perhaps running on the iPhone. Among
other things, it would provide a vehicle for teaching programming in schools and
clubs. We have an intern at our company learning C and I know that he would go
faster if he could program some robots.
