Touted as potentially the hottest toy of 2012 by CNet, Combat Creatures’ Attacknid robot has generated a ton of hype over the past several months.  And it’s pretty easy to see why.  Attacknids are spider-like remote controlled robots that…well…fight with each other.  Attacknids can fire discs, darts and spheres and once a robot gets hit three times it shuts down automatically.

Today, Combat Creatures’ Attacknid made its way through the FCC.  The device’s remote control (below) won approval for the use of the 2.4GHz band, although we didn’t see any filings for the Attacknid robot itself.

Combat Creatures’ hasn’t announced an official release date for the Attacknid, but today’s FCC filing suggests that the robot is on schedule for a release this holiday season.
