Goal: $30,707
Funding Period: Until April 12
Stretch Goal: $50,000
Creator: SwapBots

SwapBots introduces kids to the world of augmented reality through a transformable toy of nine characters. Kids can collect the different SwapBots and switch up the head, body and base pieces to create new stories and superpowers.

With every swap comes more than 700 character combinations to battle and play games within a digital world. Kids put their bot together, scan it into an Android or iOS device with the app, and then can begin to explore stories and play games.

Kickstarter donations range from $6 to $75 and prizes include early-bird starter packs, six-packs, nine-packs with three mystery characters, and free video games. If the campaign reaches its $50,000 stretch goal, then SwapBots backers will receive a pack of accessories and environment assets.
