Hi everyone, I just wanted to start a discussion to find out what we all know about the RSV3. I have been scouring the internet for months and months trying to find anything new and rarely come up with anything. I'm sure we have all seen the youtube commercial with a glimpse of what some believe to be the V3, but is there any weight to this? Tilden has not said anything new for a while now on its development, but I hear that it will be around sometime in 2008 (CES 2008 maybe?). If there are any wowwee reps or insiders that can share any info, it would be much appreciated. If any of you find or hear anything new, post it here for us all!

We know nothing other than random speculation, and a few generalities Tilden has mentioned about prototypes.

Yeah, it's pretty annoying.  I'm crossing my fingers for a CES 2008 appearance from V3.

i cant see the picture, its not that one with mark, standing buy a big red robot. we have been though that, its not the v3

January 4, 2008 2:21 PM

No its one about 1 metre 30 and is white and black and a plain face with a slit with eyes. It has the same but bigger hands than the V2 and no gauntlet sensors. It is in a box much bigger than the actual bot and a highly complex remote control (much more complex than the v2!). I cant find the site I found the pic from but if you send me a private message with your e-mail I'll send you a copy of the image and then delete all traces of your e-mail.

Sorry about that

If its the one I am thinking of, its from a german ebay ad. it is not a V3.

I have seen this video so many times, and I don't really think that is the V3.  However, it is incredible how similar in design it is to the V2.  Notice the waist, the design for the hands, the shoulder joints that rotate, the shape of the chest, even the standard black and white wowwee colors.  It also delivers on teh whole 3-5 foot tall rumor.  Again this is probably not the V3, but it sure kinda seems like it...

Acctually that is the pic I saw and loads of people think that bot is the v3.

lets just hope he is not a piece of crap, and that they actually make a solid media suite. LOL

January 7, 2008 12:47 PM

I hope the control is easier to use than the v2's! Coz that was all letters and shifts and no real clues on what they did

Unlike the PlayStation remotes, which are intuitively obvious to the casual observer.... Wink

I'm not disagreeing the RSV2 remote is obtuse, I'm just saying it's well within the norm for game controllers. I never could get the hang of the PlayStation games that my kids whooped my butt at. That was mostly due to being too slow figuring out what button combination to use.

No, why do you ask Zoe?

The video was first posted on the RoboSapien.tk forums, by Microbi. I've been explaining to people that its not the V3, its a prop, ever since.
