"Apparently playing robotic god has its consequences? Who knew! When Bart and Professor Frink take things too far to win a Robot Rumble, they also open up Springfield to a robo-uprising. Perhaps building that Icarius-Bot to fly too close to the sun WAS a bad idea? Now it's humans vs. robots in the ultimate blood bath (or oil bath). Will the humans be smart, er, LUCKY, enough to stop these mechanical monsters? Play today to find out."
