We blogged about the new Wow Wee robot, the Roboreptile, earlier in the week. Today, PC Mag has a hands-on review of the little mecca-godzilla. Their verdict? It’s cool, fast moving, and true to its BEAMish progeny, it achieves a “startling effect” with its simple, largely analog, electronics. But they also found it be one pissed off bot that’s a little hard to tame and maybe too much of a handful for the youngins. As they point out, each robot in the line has a distinct personality: the Robosapien is a big goofball and Roboraptor is playful and aggressive, like a dog. Roboreptile is… well “irate.” Cool. A REAL candidate for feral robotics.
