COMAN: the almost-human Humanoid

Todays' robots can walk, interact with objects, jump, they can do all kinds of cool stuff. Yet only a handful can remain standing after a soft push, or any other kind of unexpected interaction. One unexpected little change, and the bot is down. So much for the hundreds of thousands of dollars researchers put in it - the thing can not even stand straight.

The game is actually set in the real world; Players roam about anywhere they please and collect energy,while looking for places-of-interests called "Portals". Players of two opposing factions fight against each other by capturing the portals (the process consists of walking up to a "portal" in real life and then using your phone to place a resonator near it) and linking them together to capture large pieces of land.
