Roboreptile™ is an impressive mix of powerful agility, multi-sensory awareness and a fiery personality!
This cold-blooded predator comes to life through a combination of dynamic robotic animations and advanced interactive technologies.
It’s feisty, really feisty! In fact, it has a brand new behavior mode called “berserk” mode which it enters if you try to put the calming hood on it’s head and it falls off. Then Roboreptile acts like a rodeo bull gone mad for a while charging at anything it can find!
Where the Roboraptor was known to be challenged when it came to walking, especially on carpet and when it’s batteries weren’t fully charged, the Roboreptile is wonderfully agile and maneuverable. It can turn on a dime and it’s quick. It can also walk and run quite well on reasonably short carpet.
Contrary to earlier reports, there is indeed a remote control for the Roboreptile, that also doubles as it’s feeding pod; it’s quite large in fact.
Despite promises to the contrary, WowWee's latest black-and-white robot does come with a remote control. In fact, it's a three-level remote that includes a demo mode, direction controls, a feed button, guard mode, and, most welcome, a three-level volume control. That's right, the Roboreptile is the first WowWee robot that lets users turn down the volume—you can choose from high, low, and mute.
