WowWee Roboreptile Robotic Reptile combo pack. This 2 1/4′ long Roboreptile includes a remote control and a Mini Roboreptile. With his low menacing stride and striking animation, Roboreptile is an impressive mix of mobility, multi-sensory technology and fiery personality. This adventurous beast awakens with a jump, whips his long tail and springs into action. He’s capable of high-speed running on all four legs, and he can turn on a dime on two legs.
Roboreptile uses realistic biomorphic motion and advanced natural dynamics for movement. It has the ability to run at high speeds on four legs, but then can switch over to a slower bipedal movement for other situations. It uses IR and sonic sensors to prevent reckless running. It can be fully programmed to perform a variety of actions.
Roboreptile’s default state is hungry, aggressive and active! It will start exploring his environment, attacking, roaring or moving away from anything it sees or hears. Be careful: this reptile knows how to bite! It will respond to a sound or movement by either letting out a big roar, or performing a pre-entered program (up to 20 steps). When set loose, the Roboreptile will run speedily along on all fours, avoiding obstacles, until it encounters a potential threat. If so then it’ll switch to biped mode to attack. To calm it down you will need to put included plastic hood over its face.
This robotic dinosaur comes with a remote control that you can use to set the activity mode, control the direction, it contains a feed button and a volume control. The robot will follow the remote if you hold down the “feed” button.
