Robo Stuff

The company that makes Robosapiens and Roborapter, WowWee, made some product announcements at CES this week. Here's a link:

Here's an excerpt on their new robot--Roboreptile:
Similar in style and function to the popular Roboraptor, Roboreptile is roughly half its size and far more mobile. In the demonstrations we saw, the prototype turned around, moved quickly from place-to-place, and can hop and jump. Like other WowWee robots, Roboreptile will include audio, visual, and touch sensitivity.

This company creates some amazing products and at prices where we can afford to buy them. I was wrong about Roboraptor being the must-have toy of the holiday season (even though it was for me), but it's a pretty spectacular toy, and its movements are remarkable--I can't wait to see what the Roboreptile is like. It's supposed to be released this year.
