Editorial Review:

Product Description:
He might be pocket-sized, but this miniature high-tech humanoid robot packs a huge punch. i-SOBOT is a 6.5-inch biped bot that's fully articulated, features voice command recognition and can speak a vocabulary of over 200 words and phrases. What's more, he can dance, perform his own special karate moves complete with self sound effects, and can motor forwards, backward, side-to-side or diagonally. He'll even lay down when he's had enough - and get back up again when it's time to go.

i-SOBOT is powered by 17 customs developed servo-motors and 19 integrated circuit chips. He features a built-in gyro sensor and comes fully assembled, ready for action. He can be controlled in a variety of ways: by pre-programmed actions, user programmed actions (done easily with the LCD remote control), or by real-time remote control or voice commands. Robot requires 3 "AAA" rechargeable batteries; remote requires 4 "AAA" batteries, all included. Measures 6.5" tall.

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Awesome robot!
I purchased this robot for my 8 year old son for Christmas. I was actually looking for another robot that I had seen in Sam's club and came across this one. After reading the reviews and watching the video I put the I sobot in my cart to be saved for later. I was hesitant to purchase such an expensive toy that I thought might easily be broken by my rambunctious 8 yr old. I also didn't know if it would be easy enough for him to use since it was recommended for 10 yrs old and up. This robot turned ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - Nice, but, has problems
Mine arrived with one weak servo out of 17, that prevents it from preforming some of it's moves. I spoke to Tomy, Inc. about it and they are very nice and helpful. They said they would pay both ways for shipping and have it back to me in a month. So far, I've decided to just keep it.

The battery system is awful. It has 3, 1.2v, 750ma rated, eneloop AAA batteries in series and a separate charger. The batteries last only about 20 minutes and then have to be removed and placed in the ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Impressively advanced, tiny Robot with a lot of replay-ability
Right to the details first...

^++ The Pros ++^
+ Excellent price to functionality ratio. It walks, it talks and it can balance on 1 leg...It can even do a somersault (to name just a few things)...All for about the price of a Robosapien V2. But in terms of robotics ability the V2 is a $0.99 Store cheapy in comparison.
+ Comes packaged with 3xAAA Eneloop batteries and a battery charger. This is an excellent addition. If you're not familiar with Eneloops brand batteries, in a nutshell ... Read More



Rating: 3 out of 5 stars - A Fragile Expensive Robot Toy
I-Sobot is a fragile toy robot. It has many warnings about the many ways you can break it.

It is quite an entertaining little bot when YOU are controlling it. But if you put down the remote control and watch, I-Sobot just sits there, yawns a bit and then "falls asleep." For EVERY action that you want it to perform, YOU need to hit buttons or joy sticks on its remote. There are hundreds of key combinations, none of which are easy to remember. (I think there was one called A.A.A that did something ... Read More



Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - I-sobot at your service
I like the robot enough that I bought another.
I consider the toy to be potentially educational
because it can be programmed to do a series of steps.
I can see it is versitile and fun.
With practice it is fairly easy to run the little guy around
and pick up light items.

If I have any issues with the toy,
it is that I'd like more support for programming it.
Mainly to allow making 'skits' and shows something like
what comes with the i-sobot.
