The toy itself was largely inspired by the extremely popular Rock \u2018Em Sock \u2018Em Robots, which was released in 1964, but included changes such as updating the system to be electromechanical, as well as making the toy more customizable, and thus personal, allowing each robot to be assigned a team of a notable rivalry. In the prototype shown in this report, the rivalry is that between Purdue University and Indiana University. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The<\/strong> key functions of the Rivalry Rumble Robots included the moving of the mascots, the swinging of the hammers, and the ejection of the heads, which played great homage to the motion of the Rock \u2018Em Sock \u2018Em Robots. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>The<\/strong> Rivalry Rumble Robots could be the next Rock \u2018Em Sock \u2018Em Robots, allowing people of all ages to battle their frenemies. The innovative addition of lateral movement adds a stimulating complexity to the toy not present in its predecessor. The playability of Rivalry Rumble Robots was due to the effort put forth in the design of the toy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"795\" src=\"https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2222-1-1024x795.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-578\" srcset=\"https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2222-1-1024x795.png 1024w, https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2222-1-300x233.png 300w, https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2222-1-768x596.png 768w, https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2222-1-250x194.png 250w, https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/2222-1.png 1190w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"768\" src=\"https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/TOY8-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-487\" srcset=\"https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/TOY8-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/TOY8-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/TOY8-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/TOY8-250x188.jpg 250w, https:\/\/Engineering.Purdue.edu\/toydesign\/wp\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/TOY8-666x500.jpg 666w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Rivalry Rumble Robots is an electromechanical toy which features two rival mascots \u2018battling\u2019 one another to find out which is the superior competitor.
