Thank you, Sega ^_^.
Oh, there are just SOOOO many rude comments I
could make about this thing...
At $175, it could be a decent offering. It's certainly cheaper than
the kit robots you often see in the competitions. But Wowwee's
Robosapien is programmable, and available for as little as $49.99.
From a technical standpoint:
- How many servos?
- How many points of articulation?
- Putting aside the built in AI, is it programmable?
- Method of control? (Wifi? Infra-red? Other?)
- Memory?
- Battery life?
- Any sensors? (Motion? Weight? Distance?)
More importantly:
- Does she have a compartment for a cat brain?
- Is she willing or able to protect me from Sister Jill and the
Panther Claw?
- Is she fully certified for domestic AND combat work?
- Can she host a radio show?
- Do I need to wind her up on a regular basis? If so, do I have any
guarantee that she won't destroy the universe?
- Will she make 30,000 friends?
- Is a 33-S model available? If so, do I have any guarantee that she
won't destroy the universe?
You missed a few:
- Will her memory will be wiped if she fails her trial deployment?
- Does a child-bodied vampire have an override command for her?
- Is her OS called "Multiple Intelligencial Yggdrasil Unit"?
- Does she have a Buster Mode?
- Is her "on" switch in an... inconvenient... location?
- Does she need her owner's "active molecules" for upgrades?
