Rock’em Sock’em Robots is one of the most iconic children’s toys from the late 20th century. The game Arms on the Nintendo Switch is a fun take on boxing, similar to the funny nature of boxing robots in Rock’em Sock’em Robots. How would you combine the two to make this popular toy even more fun? Watch Adam bring the mechanics from the game Arms into one of the most popular children’s toys.

    Great build Adam. It is always cool to see new ways to make use of my Switch's Joycons! (Especially since I don't travel anymore and they spend all their life connected to the console.)
