Using a new adaptive vision system it can track and see objects up to 4 meters away with precision, and it doesn&#8217;t just avoid them, it can take an interest. Motion is quick using its tail travel wheel, and it can raise itself almost a meter into the air during turns and demos. The default personality is very ET friendly, and it&#8217;s stuffed with other personalities like patrol guard, rotating lazer sentry, even a strafing guard mode. There are 41 functions including volume control, tracking flashlight, explore, and it&#8217;s even an iPod speaker amplifier. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p> <i>Thanks, Robert!<\/i> <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.digg.com\/submit\" target=\"new\"> <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" src=\"http:\/\/digg.com\/img\/badges\/91x17-digg-button-alt.gif\" width=\"91\" height=\"17\" alt=\"Digg!\"\/> <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8220;WowWee&#8221; is right.
