One of our boss here brought his toy robot and I was surprised it was the RoboSapien. I quickly borrowed it and played with the remote. Of course, the obligatory shot from my N6230 is here:
The robot really looks more plastic than advertised but it’s expected. The remote is big which is good but hard to use at first — only the forward, back, left and right commands are obvious — one needs to read the manual first before making it go into action. The floor was a little slippery so walking was a bit clumsy (or difficult) for the RoboSapien.
The manufacturer claims it has up to 84 functions but it would seem like just a dozen. I tried making it pick up my cellphone on the floor but it could not reach it. Looks like the only thing it can really pick us is another cup. It’s feels a little clumsy to use at first but maybe I am the one who needs more practice.
After 5 minutes of playing, I’m still convinced it stays on my Digital Wish List.
