Hi! I'm a new member of Robocommunity and a new robot owner. Being Married with 4 kids I've visited quite a few Department stores and the Robosapien V2's seemed interesting. I checked them out on the net and started hunting for one on Ebay. 2 weeks later I'm the proud owner of an RSV2 in silver and a green Roboraptror. I couldn't stop there so I then got myself a RSV1 Signature Series shortly followed by a Homersapien and a robotyrranus. I'm looking forward to learning all about them in the near future and especially excited about picking up my RS Media this weekend. Here's a pic pf the 'family'.

I'd love to hear from other newbies

Yay! Another Wowwee addict-Welcome!

Nice family photo! Does Homersapien actually make Homer sounds?

Be on the lookout for Roboquad. He's one of my favorites - I think he's the most fun to watch roaming around.

I've been watching this site for a few weeks now. EXCELLENT! altwolf, Homer does make some sounds. The wake up routine is "I'm awake, I'm awake! I'm a productive member of the team, you can't fire me I quit!" The pick up routine is "Mmmmm...doughnuts", Bulldozer is "Run for your lives this is not a drill!"
I found Robotyrranus by accident in a dept. store. I'd never heard of it so I searched for it on this website! bought it on ebay a week later!. I intend to get a Roboquad soon but I need to let the finances recover!

Glad you like the site!

I think we'd all love to see a video of Homersapien :) I for one have never seen it in person.

Do you know if Homersapien interacts with the other wowwee robots? Many of the others do, e.g. Search results for keyword 'interact'.

That would be cool to see too.

Homersapien is just a Robosapien with some different phrases (other than the obvious external differences). Otherwise he behaves just like a normal Robosapien. With my still limited knowledge of RSV1's I'm not aware of any interaction routines with any other WowWee robots.

Here is a pic and a video of Homer. Hope they turn out ok.

 

And this is the video. Hope that helps!? I'm new to all of this. Sorry.

Hi idrum289

June 26, 2008 5:33 PM

It is nice on here isn't it? Not only am I a new robot owner but this is the first time ever I've been on any forum. A couple of firsts for me.

I have two real cats, so robot cat kept in cupboard and never used now as real cats do not like it. It is the only robot they dont like.

RS Media is brilliant, only had mine a little while,but having some trouble getting to grips with software, but also not having much time to play around with it at mo.

June 27, 2008 2:17 AM

I'll let you know my initial thoughts on RS Media when I've had a chance to fiddle. It's going to be a full weekend. My cat doesn't give my robots the time of day. He couldn't care less.

Nice bots DeepThought. Hmmm... Robotpet looks way cooler in red. I might have to try to find one of those. For some reason white Robopet just kind of creeped me out, so I never picked one up.

July 11, 2008 7:09 PM

Hey Guys! What's going on here? No one told me it was going to be like this! I can't stop. I've now got a Roboquad and a Spidersapien. Help me please.....

My Office now looks like this!

No, there is something of a bug in the system. It happens occasionally.
