Before Robosapien V2 could impress your friends with his unique personality, dance moves, and bowling finess, he had to start as an idea and evolve into the super-bot he is today. Below is an exciting, behind the scenes look at the evolution of the beloved Robosapien V2. We've got pictures for everything, including sketches on paper, to working prototypes, to the final design.

Given what WowWee learned in putting together the first Robosapien, you'll see that the prototypes and early models are much more refined than its predecessor. It looks like they learned a trick or two, and when you think about how much more advanced the V2 is from the first, it's amazing to think about what WowWee will have in store for us down the road.

Even the early sketches are remarkably similar to the final design.

thats because they were just showing how they made the body look like it is today the camra vision is a feature of the robot because if you saw the body cept getting more developed it is possible that some other people thought up the features and diffrent people did the body to fit the curciutry in the robot plus make it look cool but still can anyone tell me about the robogames the mentioned

The background on one of the pics said "Wowwee, everything else is just a toy!"

Isn't that the catch phrase from the Small Soldiers movie?
