Customize Your own Interactive Personality
For the WowWee RS Media Robot

WowWee's most developed toy robot is featured on the cover of Fall 2006 Robot Magazine.

The writer Tom Atwood (known in our robocommunity as Botmaticon) wrote that cover piece on "Customize your own interactive personality"!

Richard Yanofsky, president of WowWee Ltd., said :

"We're not selling a toy or a widget. We're selling an amigo...."

The buzz is all about the Roboquad. And it is well deserved.

I have just had my very first chance to see it "in the flesh" (or "in the exoskeleton").

Here are my very first impressions: Here is a new robot that obviously isn’t imitating humans (like RoboSapiens) or their dogs (like RoboPets).

The click, click, click, click of its four legs announces its arrival.
