  I don't know what exactly you're talking about?  There's remote controlled toys, robo-stuff, etc.  More descriptions?Edit: Doh, you've described it... my bad.  Don't know if it's worth it.  Disregard my post.   ;  The people on Amazon  don't seem very happy with it. ;  They were giving one of these away on Blue Peter on kids tv about a month ago as a competition prize, the thing looked pretty fisher-pricey and was almost running on the spot instead of over the little Matchbox cars it was supposed to be terrorising. Unless it's going to end up in the hands of a young child I'd go for some die-cast cars instead.   ;  I think those "robot" type toys put a lot of their earning potential on looking cool to get people excited about what they can do, but then fall short with the implementation.My boss bought two robosapiens last year, with the sole purpose of thinking it'd be cool to give them tiny weapons so we can fight with them in the office.  Alas, our plan was foiled when they arrived and we learned that they use an IR transmitter that only operated on one frequency.  Thus, they would both respond to commands from both remotes.At least someone found a way to hack them so they can fight;Quote:Original post by DrjonesDW3dI think those "robot" type toys put a lot of their earning potential on looking cool to get people excited about what they can do, but then fall short with the implementation.My boss bought two robosapiens last year, with the sole purpose of thinking it'd be cool to give them tiny weapons so we can fight with them in the office.

Next thing you know, they are laying waste to entire civilizations, chasing the few pitiful survivors across the wasteland, and slaughtering them without mercy.Don't you read science fiction?  By teaching the robots to fight, you are only accelerating their inevitable and catastrophic betrayal of humanity.  You should take a hammer to the wretched little bastards now before they turn on you.   ;  Robots don't have to be evil and try to destroy humanity, it's all in the name you give them.
