This came in today from Robert Oschler, our very own robotic mad scientist…

Hey Judie,

Here’s brand new detailed coverage on WowWee‘s upcoming Tri-Bot robot, which we created after playing with him solid for several days:

We just released an In-depth video review that covers the important features and capabilities of the latest successor in WowWee’s Robosapien line of robots, the Tri-Bot. When you combine Tri-Bot’s ability to be driven merely by tilting his remote control along with his unique three wheel base, the net result is a simple to own and easy to love robot with amazing mobility not seen before in consumer robots. This YouTube video will show you these cool features, several of his fun and useful behavior modes, and tell you about the games Tri-Bot can play with you:

Here is a link to the accompanying written review, which contains secret tips and tricks for getting the most out of your Tri-Bot robot that are not covered in the video, along with a comprehensive breakdown of the Tri-Bot’s features and what it’s like to play with him:

Interesting side-note. The Tri-Bot’s innovative three wheel base and remote control with tilt sensor will make him a prime target for robot hackers everywhere.

Thanks,
