Remote Control or Running Free?

admin — Tue, 10 Jan 2006 14:44:05 +0000

There seems to be some discussion about whether or not the Roboreptile will have a remote control. I found a picture of a remote for it

(Picture from http://home.planet.nl/~pruim006/Robosapien.htm)

but I’m still not sure if it will actually be realeased with this or not. I’ve been following some discussion about this and some people are expecting it to be voice activated although I’m not so sure. More details if I manage to track them down!

Orders are being taken now!

US Release Date

Amazon.com have added the Roboreptile to their site and while the details are pretty sketchy it is available for pre order at a price of $119.99 which will probably come down a bit once the competition start selling too. The scheduled date is August 1, 2006 and the product description is

Fully automated demo modes. Bi-pedal walking motion in full strides. Multiple functions with easy to use remote. Multiple vision systems with color recognition.

No sign of it on the Amazon UK site but I’m sure it will be there soon. I don’t want to have to import mine just to get it first!!

UK Preorders

Amazon now has a page up for Roboreptile orders in the UK. It currently states that it can be delivered in 1-2 weeks but I don’t think even Amazon will manage that.

Roboreptile is priced at £89.99 in the UK which compares pretty poorly to the US price of $119.99

They have a great picture online now too

Fake Roboreptile Video?

There also seems to have been a fake video released. You can read more info in this forum thread. The roboreptile in the fake video does look a bit disappointing but then I wonder where the video could have come from in the first place maybe it’s an early prototype.

First Video Released

which is a video of the roboreptile with creator Mark Tilden. You’ll need to watch the video till it’s about 1 minute in and that’s where our favourite little guy puts in an appearance.

It’s pretty aggressive

From what we have been hearing about the Roboreptile it’s quite a lively beast! It is sold along with a cowl ( a kind of hood) which can be used to calm it down when it starts to get too aggressive. Sounds like it should be great fun combined with the speed people are saying it can run when on all fours.

Roboreptile is coming
