Good value 'real' robot, solid product November 25, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
Had ours a few years. Amusing demos including dancing to own disco music, pre-programmed compilations of moves, e.g. pick up, throw, karate chop, a handful of sounds including wolf-whistle, burp, burp from the other end, hi-yah, oops, etc. Infrared remote control like a TV's, mostly three functions per button, easy to visibly switch between functions (no light, green light, orange light on control). Can use in real-time with remote control (walk, turn, turn on spot, arm movements, tilt at waist etc. plus all pre-programmed moves), or program six consecutive moves (including the pre-programmed combinations of moves) - each different program triggered by making a noise with the robot in `listen' ('sentry')mode or touching right hand/heel sensors or left hand/heel sensors (i.e. three different programmes at a time). Also a master program of 14 commands initiated from the remote control. Very, very durable, amazing rotation of arms, pick-up tricky as objects need to be well placed to remain in robot's grasp as `fingers' close and arms lift, can't carry much more than a sock with arms up if not to go round in circles, limited walking ability on soft carpeting. Actually, mine doesn't do a good straight line anyway, but I don't mind. Here's the manual so you know what it does: www.wowwee.com/robosapien/manual.html. Durable fun and well worth it for the money in my opinion, a tad short of stunning given today's high expectations, but certainly has the air of a `real' robot about it. I would guess an 8-12 year old male would be totally over the moon, older and adults intrigued to play a week or two before exhausting immediate possibilities and returning now and again. A very good product, good value, has a personality and deserves to be bought on its own merits.
 So i bought myself a Robosapien September 4, 2007

After reading all the reviews here, i said all right, go on then and bought myself a robosapien. Mind you i am 30. Ha..ha.. in all honesty it can be very good fun for a 15 year old. for a 30 year old with a kid. nah.. it isn't as hi-fi and modern as it advertises.basically a toy robot with few preprogrammed commands. you can make it do a few things, fling its arm around, whistle (series of 6 things)but the novelty wears out in a day or two.
So there you are, i feel a bit silly. may be if i were a teenager again i would have enjoyed it. does anyone want it at a cheap price?

Picked this up cheap as the poor thing had been superceded by a taller model. Still he perfectly fitted in with our family on Xmas day, what with the constant burping, breaking of wind and rather laboured waddling. Not sure how much he'll be used once his second set of batteries run out but I suspect he may not end up broken at the bottom of the toy box because he's incredibly heavy and strong. Plus my little lad loves programming him - which amazes me because he's only four. So there you go, educational too.

We had fun with our RoboSapiens v2 for two days, then it quit working. Wouldn't boot, or would start to boot and then die. We replaced all the ten batteries in the bot.
 More fun for 12 months than can be imagined October 29, 2005

creating a course 0f objects (cans of beanz and yoghurt pots) that have to be moved around and/or picked up and moved - gives great planning & measuring times for kids and adults up to age 62 here !!!! not bored after a year ! Higly recommended for kids to learn basic logic of EVERY COMMAND no matter how small in programming....
