Hello, I've been a RoboSapien owner since 2003 and it's good to see the movement is still alive!

 Please allow me to introduce myself, I am a 32 year old male that has been interested in robots ever since I can remember, currently I seem to be more of a collector of robot toys than anything, but I'd love to step it up a notch and become a little more active in robotics, recently I've added a Roboraptor to my collection to keep my Robosapien company, both of them are among thier robotic bretheren... I-Cybie, Interactive R2D2, an army of Zoids and numerous other collectable robotic toys. I'm a kit builder from way back, I love model kits, especially model kits that do something other than just sit there when they're completed... which i guess would explain my fascination with the Zoids line of toys. Some of my other interests range from hobby grade R/C kits to Model rocketry and metal work (I have a fully equipped machine shop in my basement and a welding station in my garage).

 Some of my thoughts on the WowWee "Robo" line, I'm a little disappointed to see WowWee robotics gradually moving away from the walking designs in favor of the wheeled designs.... Is Mark Tilden no longer involved with the project??? Because the latest products from WowWee robotics don't really look like something he'd go for?!?!?! I love everything about the Robo line up to RS media and RoboQuad... everything after that seems to have moved in a different direction.

 I'd love to see the old Robo line all the way up to Roboquad rereleased as "deluxe" kit versions, I think WowWee would capture more of the hobbiest market this way, the kits of course would be unassembled and could feature more advanced electronics, better sensors, mainboards with extra ports for adding custom sensors, and maybe even USB or serial connectivity for PC interfacing, the kits could also feature "paint it yourself" clear plastic body shells that could be painted from the inside to maintain a glossy appearance on the outside and make for much more professional looking custom paint jobs......... Kits in my opinion are the ultimate option for attracting true enthusiests and would allow the Robo line to be taken a little more seriously... preassembled versions for the kiddies, impulse buyers and casual enthusiests. Kit versions for the hobbiests and do it yourselfers....Anyway I guess it's just something I'd like to see.

I look forward to participating in many discussions.
