1. A set comprising:
- a team control processor adapted to receive a team command and to derive at least a first and a second distinct pawn control instructions from the team command;
a team transmitter adapted to transmit wirelessly at least a first and a second distinct pawn control signals encoding respectively the first and second pawn control instructions; and
at least a first and a second pawn toy robots, the first pawn toy robot having a sensor to receive the first pawn control signal, the second pawn toy robot having a primary sensor to receive the second pawn control signal, each pawn toy robot further having a decoder to adapted to decode the pawn control signal received by the associated primary sensor to reproduce the respective pawn control instruction, each pawn toy robot being adapted to act responsive to the reproduced pawn control instruction.

Abstract
Toy robots are provided that act in concert with each other. A player issues high level team commands to a processor. The processor interprets the team command to derive individual low level commands for the toy robots. A transmitter transmits the low level commands to the toy robots, which then act in concert.
