Official Roboreptile Website is Launched

admin — Wed, 14 Jun 2006 11:09:00 +0000

I have just noticed that the official site has gone live with some great new photos of roboreptile

www.roboreptileonline.com

It has loads of info including the instruction manual and a new advert. It ships with Roboreptile itself, the remote control and a hood. The remote control has three settings giving a total of 28 different functions. There is also the option to program up to 20 steps.

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

Roboraptor

It’s hard to find any new news at the moment about the Roboreptile and since I’m pretty new to this range of toys I thought I would spend some time looking back at Roboraptor and find out what that was capable of. I found a few cool videos on Youtube so they are linked below.

It looks pretty cool but I’m pleased that it seems like the roboreptile will be moving a bit better as the roboraptor seems to just shuffle along. I think a lot of the fun of these guys is the modifications that various websites suggest. I will be reading more at sites like this one

Remote Control or Running Free?

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!

US Release Date

admin — Mon, 08 May 2006 10:25:32 +0000

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!!

Fake Roboreptile Video?

admin — Fri, 05 May 2006 09:15:43 +0000

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.
