Amazon.com Product Description Robosapien Version 2 is the next generation of Robosapien technology and personality from Wowwee. This new member of the robotic family comes with more advanced dynamic motion, interactive sensors, new program functions, speech capability, and a personality all his own. It's clear from the start that he enjoys bowling, dancing, and having conversations. Movement RobosapienV2 is able to walk forward in four different styles, or gaits. He normally uses his IR vision and touch sensors built into his feet and hands to avoid obstacles, but if put into bulldozer mode, he will walk forward or backward and try to push his way through anything. Beyond controlling him manually with the included remote controller, RobosapienV2 can explore his environment independently in free roam mode. You can also direct his movements by using the remote's targeting feature--just point the beam to a spot on the floor and he will walk toward it. RobosapienV2 has been designed with a full range of motion. He can turn his head just like humans. So, too, can he turn at the hips and can move them forward and back and from side to side. RobosapienV2 can move each arm independently, and his hands can grab, pick up, and throw light objects, such as the included bowling balls and pins. He even comes preprogrammed with a selection of dance moves. | | Direct RobosapienV2's movements with the remote's targeting beam and watch him walk toward it. | Sensors RobosapienV2 is equipped with a powerful vision system that lets him track the movement of objects in his field of view by moving his head and body. He will react differently to things based on their distance from his sensors. He uses his onboard color camera to identify primary colors and skin tones. This helps him identify his bowling ball and pins, and bowling is his favorite game. His ability to detect skin tones helps him know when people are waving to him or when it's time to shake hands. | | RobosapienV2 comes with a controller, a green bowling ball and 3 red bowling pins. | He also has hearing sensors that help him detect people in his proximity, tilt sensors that interrupt most functions to prevent damage should he fall, and grip sensors that tell him whether he's been successful in picking up an object. Programming RobosapienV2 can be programmed to move in many different ways. You simply enter moves into the program using controller commands, and RobosapienV2 will remember them in order. You can enter walking steps, arm and upper body movements, demos and animations, and even program subroutines. Once he's in guard mode, RobosapienV2 will execute the program if he hears a sharp noise or senses movement in front of him. The little guy faithfully remembers his program, even after being shut off, until he's reprogrammed or reset. Robo Companions RobosapienV2 can interact with other Wowwee robots, such as the Robopet and the Roboraptor. Just have the robots face each other and watch for surprising interactions.

Danger Will Robinson November 8, 2008 Barry (Florida) Buyers beware and do some googling on this product before buying. The company has major quality control issues including bad wiring insulation which can cause fires. I have come across hundreds of posts saying the product fails soon after purchase. Mine did. They would not replace it since I had lost the purchase receipt.
Very fun toy, Chinese quality November 4, 2007 Surfer 2 out of 3 found this review helpful
This toy is very cool but ours stopped working soon after we started using it. It folded itself up and kept the motors running even after it was completely folded over backwards. I had to shut it off. I tried everything. I'm a software developer with a Master's degree in engineering so it's not like I can't figure out a technical problem. This thing is broken. When mine arrived I could tell that it had been used even though it was newly packaged. It had some scuffs and scratches and it was a bit dirty. I suspect that WowWee is having so many returns on the V2 that they are repairing them and repackage them as new. I bought mine from Target.com via Amazon.com so I'm covered as far as customer service and rapid turnaround on a replacement but WowWee is not a company I will ever trust again. The ONLY reason that I'm getting a replacement instead of a full refund is because when it works it is one of the coolest toys I've seen and my kid would have a heart attack if we gave up on it. The technology is great and if you wonder how they could possibly sell these things for under $[...] then look at the label: Made in China. Pick up the hand-held controller and feel the cheapness. Unlike a video game console control that has some heft and fairly thick plastic, the controller looks cheap and feels cheap. It IS cheap. The robot's plastic is OK but the controller is just a piece of junk. Too bad they didn't spend a few more bucks on the controller. If WowWee built such a cheapo controller that you are going to be holding in your hands and looking at the whole time then imagine the shortcuts they took on quality on the things you can't see. I only pray that they had a software Quality Assurance team that actually looked at this thing before they released it. We have arrived at an era in which a $[...] toy is a throwaway. Sad.
It can bowl! September 12, 2007 Jason Weill (Seattle, WA USA) 19 out of 20 found this review helpful
Watch Video Here: http://www.amazon.com/review/R1A37AVQEISIOC The RoboSapien can identify its bowling ball and bowling pins using a color sensor. Its aim needs a little work, though.
birthday present for a six year old June 26, 2007 W. gray (illinois) 1 out of 2 found this review helpful
immediately the favorite toy in the household and have to admit that I experimented (played) with the item for a couple of days before the presentation was made and impressed with all of the functions/features of this item. a fantastic find of mine.
good toy!! May 21, 2007 2 out of 2 found this review helpful
in this review i am going to go over the pro and con of the controller and the robot. the controller. pro: the controller has excellent battery life with normal use. the layout is good to.con: i think that the controller signal range can be better. the robot pro: the robot has very good hand motions and the hips and waist is very functional too. i have given this toy 5 stars in durability because i have only been using it for walking around not for picking up heavy things. con: the eyesight of the robot is not very good. it can see up to about 3 feet but i only use the close range vision.i gave the robot 3 stars in educational because it really isn't educational at all!!i also gave the the robot 4 stars in fun because after a week or 2 you get tired of playing with him!!
