I think in an implementation like that, minibots have the potential to be a very cool and different aspect to games that we haven't seen before. It helps break up the somewhat repeatable actions of handling some sort of ball, picking up some kind of tube and placing it on a peg, hanging from a bar of some sorts, etc.

If they don't walk out onto the stage with a minibot in hand and throw it in the garbage, I'll be fairly disappointed.
