Roboni-I, the Rise of Robotic Gaming?

Move over Battle Bots, now there's Roboni-I, the programmable gaming robot that lets you wheel plastic automatons round micro-arenas for solo or team sport, on or offline. Yep, it's really real, a shin-high fat plastic disc with hooped rubber wheels extending like arms from either side. It sports four microprocessors, 16 sensors (an infrared gun along with touch and obstacle detection), a USB port, a speaker, a game accessory reader, and radio-frequency remote controls. It zips around flat surfaces like a funky low-profile racer and pulls off 360-degree turns quicker than Automan.

You get six games out of the box that can interact with included peripherals like a base station, energy port, and special effects pad, as well as a controller that looks like a chubby console gamepad.According to the product description

Depending upon the game you select (or modify using the software) each accessory serves a unique purpose: the base station can act as a depot, timer, or target; the energy port ejects a ball (which is corralled by the robot's built-in scoop) and recharges the robot; and the special effects hub provides robots with advanced maneuvers and abilities.

The robot's sensors and RF chips allow it to interact with those accessories as well as competing robots, so two players can duel bot-to-bot. (The sales video depicts two Roboni-I bots wrangling over a yellow ball, for instance.)
