RoboRally

The box says it all, Super-computer driven CHAOS!!!! It doesn't get much better. Pick your petty worker-bot and try to navigate through the factory and reach all the waypoints, while trying to block/destroy/slow the other robots. The board is full of obstacles like conveyor belts, lasers, walls, and bottomless pits. Every turn, each player receives cards with which to program his robot's five moves, "stages", consisting of turns and movement forward or back. Once the turn begins, nothing in the program can be changed. All robots move one stage at the same time, and can bump into each other, pushing the other robot to a different space and concocting a lovely recipe for disaster. Once every robot has moved, they all fire lasers in the direction that they are facing. There are also special item cards that can be obtained and equipped to your robot.

A classic boardgame that everyone I've ever talked to loved.
