Imagine the latest, most advanced robot and AI technology, side by side with brute force Combot monsters that are capable of launching competitors weighing upwards of two hundred pounds so high up in the air that they sometimes put a dent in the ceiling or crack the thick plastic protective walls. It’s like dropping Albert Einstein and Isaac Newton along with “Bill & Ted” right into the middle of "Mad Max – Beyond Thunderdome."
