Roboquad - looks familiar doesn't it ?
Bargain Robot and fun too
A real bargain Robot at only $ 99 this has a very strong feel of Star Wars Stormtroopers about it .And here's the best bit - it has an AGRESSIVE mode and if you have two Roboquads they will immediately start to fight each other (but I take no responsibility for any damage caused either to Robots or your furnitre or goldfish - don't do this underwater !)

RoboPanda - The Cutest Robot Yet ?
Great entertainment for young Kids
Engage your child's imagination with the Robopanda, a playful, talkative, interactive robotic panda friend. With his engaging personality and bright animated eyes, the Robopanda loves to share stories and jokes, play games, sing songs, and chat with children of all ages. The fun-filled robotic bear can even crawl on all fours, return to a sitting position, and give hugs, making him far more versatile than a traditional teddy bear (and much easier to maintain than a dog). Designed to work without a remote control, the Robopanda is controlled directly by touch and sound, with eight touch sensors and a stereo sonic sensor located throughout his body. Touch his head and he'll respond with a nod. Pick him up and he'll giggle and ask for a ride. In short, the Robopanda's advanced artificial intelligence and awareness gives your child hours of delight and entertainment. He even knows how to track objects with his eyes and avoid obstacles.Equipped with eight touch sensors and a stereo sonic sensor, the Robopanda works without a remote control.
The panda offers three different play modes. In Training mode, the panda guides your child through his many features, while Friend mode turns on the panda's conversational charm (including jokes). In Menu mode, meanwhile, the Robopanda tells your child stories, plays games, and even sings a song or two. The panda will even learn tricks from you in Menu mode and then perform them later. And don't worry about your Robopanda growing lonely while you're away, as he comes with his own plush toy panda that he recognizes and talks to.
The Robopanda comes with a pair of activity and story cartridges, each of which includes different stories and personality traits. Other details include a volume control, a set of safety sensors, and a mode switch on the back. The Robopanda, which runs on six C-size and four AA batteries (not included), measures 10.2 by 19 by 6 inches (W x H x D), weighs 10.34 pounds, and carries a 90-day warranty.
What's in the Box
Robopanda, plush panda toy, two story cartridges, user's manual.
Product Description
This adorable robotic panda is a fun-loving friend who likes to tell stories, play games and sing songs. Robopanda's engaging personality and bright animated eyes will immediately endear him to children of all ages. There's no need for a remote control -- you can interact with Robopanda directly through his integrated audio and touch sensors. Using capacitive touch sensor technology, he knows when he is being patted, touched, or stroked and responds accordingly; his audio sensor allows him to hear sounds for game play and other interactions.
At the touch of a switch, you can set him into one of three play modes: in Training Mode he will teach you how to play with him; in Friend Mode he will engage you in conversation and amuse you with jokes; in Menu Mode, you can use his sensors to navigate through his menus, review and select from among his many stories, interactive games and songs. When Robopanda tells stories, he invites you to make decisions that will determine the outcome of the story.
Equipped with an internal dual-axis accelerometer and tilt sensors, Robopanda knows when you pick him up or carry him somewhere, and he's going to let you know how he feels about it! And, he can even switch from sitting to crawling position, crawl on all fours and switch back to sitting again. Program him to perform a sequence of actions by simply moving his limbs around. Robopanda comes with an adorable plush panda accessory (who Robopanda will recognize and interact with when he's close by) and 2 cartridges containing interactive content. Requires 4 "AA" and 6 "C" batteries, not included. Measures 19"H.

Rovosapienv2 - Great Value Robot !
This robot is about to wander around MY House !
Robosapien Version 2 is the next generation of Robosapien technology and personality from Wowwee. This new member of the robotic family comes with more advanced dynamic motion, interactive sensors, new program functions, speech capability, and a personality all his own. It's clear from the start that he enjoys bowling, dancing, and having conversations.RobosapienV2
Movement
RobosapienV2 is able to walk forward in four different styles, or gaits. He normally uses his IR vision and touch sensors built into his feet and hands to avoid obstacles, but if put into bulldozer mode, he will walk forward or backward and try to push his way through anything.
Beyond controlling him manually with the included remote controller, RobosapienV2 can explore his environment independently in free roam mode. You can also direct his movements by using the remote's targeting feature--just point the beam to a spot on the floor and he will walk toward it.
RobosapienV2 has been designed with a full range of motion. He can turn his head just like humans. So, too, can he turn at the hips and can move them forward and back and from side to side. RobosapienV2 can move each arm independently, and his hands can grab, pick up, and throw light objects, such as the included bowling balls and pins. He even comes preprogrammed with a selection of dance moves.
RobosapienV2
Direct RobosapienV2's movements with the remote's targeting beam and watch him walk toward it.
Sensors
RobosapienV2 is equipped with a powerful vision system that lets him track the movement of objects in his field of view by moving his head and body. He will react differently to things based on their distance from his sensors. He uses his onboard color camera to identify primary colors and skin tones. This helps him identify his bowling ball and pins, and bowling is his favorite game. His ability to detect skin tones helps him know when people are waving to him or when it's time to shake hands.
RobosapienV2
RobosapienV2 comes with a controller, a green bowling ball and 3 red bowling pins.
He also has hearing sensors that help him detect people in his proximity, tilt sensors that interrupt most functions to prevent damage should he fall, and grip sensors that tell him whether he's been successful in picking up an object.
Programming
RobosapienV2 can be programmed to move in many different ways. You simply enter moves into the program using controller commands, and RobosapienV2 will remember them in order. You can enter walking steps, arm and upper body movements, demos and animations, and even program subroutines. Once he's in guard mode, RobosapienV2 will execute the program if he hears a sharp noise or senses movement in front of him. The little guy faithfully remembers his program, even after being shut off, until he's reprogrammed or reset.
Robo Companions
RobosapienV2 can interact with other Wowwee robots, such as the Robopet and the Roboraptor. Just have the robots face each other and watch for surprising interactions.

Robosapien V2 has a one-of-a-kind attitude-filled personality that makes him an engaging companion, day in and day out.
Safety warning: This product contains small parts that may present a choking hazard for young children.
This Robot outclasses most other robot but does not really need the tecchie background of Mindstorms (although MindstormsNXT is more expandable)
Now the bad side ! It is made of plastic and you can expect some of the black paint to chip off (particularly if kids play with it and fight rorobts and that kind of stuff) I would have preferred it to have a more durable head and body.
Having said that,it does have two great advantages over other robots - I TALKS - right out of the box and its really interactive - no heavy programming requred. I still vote this as my best out of the box buy. But don't expect it to be as expandable as the Mindstorms NXT (cause it isn't !)
If you want a fun robot that will keep you amused for hours then this is the robot for you - but I seriously think you need the Robosapien Companion book to get the best out of it.
Robosapien
Incredibly versatile robot - I liked it !
