Robosapien v. I-SOBOT Hello!I am writing to ask which robot is better speech-wise, Robosapien or I-SOBOT? I have been reading Tim Hornyak's excellent robotic book and now I want one. I am 61 years old, so I don't want a kit. Since I probably will have to pay between $150-300.00, which one would you buy? Don't really need the Karate Chops, but the dancing might be fun to watch. Thanks to anyone who can help. Walter Carl Case, Orlando, Florida Robosapien v. I-SOBOT Hello!I am writing to ask which robot is better speech-wise, Robosapien or I-SOBOT?

romo looks great it has tele-presence which means you can see hear,and interact with what romo sees and hears etc. however, you would need an iphone to act as its brain

Looks like Taz 5 is listed directly from lulzbot and not through matterhackers. Buy the Taz 5 obviously. It has some nice upgrades from the 4.

I think they are slightly different, but you could still play it without Roboto, by why would you. The game is so fun with him, by the way I am a grandmother who bought it for grandson and we had so much fun playing as a family.

I got it for my son as christmass present. He was nagging me about getting him a remote control car which has and is collecting dust. So I got him the robosapien. Except for the annoying sounds, he seems to enjoy programming it. took him a while to learn how to, though. I think though, she would like the miip better

If you're going to spend $300, you'd be better off purchasing a different brand. One more popular such as Exceed RC or a great buy the Schumacher Racing Cougar. The Redcat Racing buggies would be another great option for the price with no trouble locating parts. The Schumacher is stellar for the price point. I wouldn't go spending double when you can get into the next level for the same amount. The level up will get you a buggy built better, faster, and with replacement parts available. Have fun shopping it's half the fun.

I gave the robot as a gift to someone and am not sure if they still have the directions. I looked up the instruction manuals on the OWI website and it appears that you may be able to purchase them at a relatively low price. I would start there. See blow for the website address. Best of luck.http://www.owirobot.com/categories/Replacement-Instruction-Manuals/

The robosapien can grunt, walk forwards, walk backwards, dance, wave, pick up certain objects, throw those objects... A lot more other things. There's a small robot "head" that can clip into your phone with an app, which I believe let's you control it through your phone too, though we have not yet used this feature.

Will Try. Go to the I Robot website and down load the manual for the Scooba, it will have a trouble shooting section in there to find the problem. and hope that it is not "brain dead" where the computer brain is fried.

For the past 20 years, I just used a couple Jack LaLane juicers . . . they were around $100. at Costco, and worked fine. I would go thru spurts of "juicing" and then stop. I discovered Dan McDonald on YouTube. I have completely changed my eating and juice everyday. He recommended the Breville Fountain Elite . . it costs more, but has been worth for me. It is faster, more powerful and easier to clean. (I put a plastic back in catcher) . . I am 65, and I feel 10 years younger. If I were you, I would watch Dan McDonald on YouTube, purchase this Breville, and juice as much as you can.

I checked around for prices on Amazon and other places. I have one that I got 6 years ago. Doesn't seem to be available at regular office supply stores. I was a teacher at the time...There is no way I paid that kind of price. It had to have been on sale and well under $100 when I bought it or it wouldn't have been purchased by me. They were not available on Logitech's website except for support. Sorry, It looks to me like scarcity on a good product has driven the price up, but I did find it on ebay for under $300. I know probably not a lot of help. Contact Logitech, maybe they can help. I checked around for prices on Amazon and other places. I have one that I got 6 years ago.

Local toys stores sell nothing like this little bugger. It's a simple little plastic boat but they got the details right. It's like a little ninja. It's just as good as the videos they show. Like others said, the battery is only for good about 10 min. (I bought a spare), I also wouldn't drive it too far away. Lets face it, if you drive out of the remote range you better be able to swim. I suppose one could say that of any remote boat through. Clearly this is the best small remote boat you can get for the $$. Very satisfied with ours and planning on shelling out $159 for it's big brother before our next camping trip. I play with this one my than my kids :) Local toys stores sell nothing like this little bugger. It's a simple little plastic boat but they got the details right. It's like a little ninja.

Yes, This is the most complete set and @ $127 right now on Amazon or less, this one is the cheaper way to go instead of upgrading the other kits later on. If you already have one of the smaller kits, you can use those as spare parts for this one. This set also includes the optional case, (around $40 separately) + all manuals and parts from the other kits; SC100, SC300, SC500, & SC750. as well as a "teacher's manual" and a Quiz with answers manual. I hope this helps!

Amazon is not asking $900 for this product. One seller is asking that price, and my guess is that this is a product that's been listed for awhile by someone with the kind of algorithm that once created a book about flies that was being sold for $23,698,655.93. I can tell you what I paid for this very same machine (like new, minus accessories): $7 at a local non-profit store. So, there you go: the price is somewhere between $7 and $900. ;) For a real answer: since it's not a "new" model, I assume, it's probably worth what someone is willing to pay for it on eBay.

Hi Latoya, Mike again here. I just took a chance & went to ' Electronic Bibles ' in Amazon's stuff---there is a speaking reference Bible ! The very 1st one shown in the elec. Bible section; Franklin Electronic BIB-950, Speaking Parallel KJV/NLT Life Application Study Bible. It's listed at $ 116.48. It says that the speech is recorded in an easy to listen to manner. ( Hope it's not too easy, sometimes Sunday morning sermons get a little stretched & when the sun comes in thru the window, my eyelids get a bit heavy ! ) I hope this helps you & your friend out ! God Bless ya ! Mike

Top spins and side spins are determined by the position of the head of the robot. No. This robot's head has to be adjusted manually. You are talking about a robot that is at least 1.200 US$ and above. Butterfly Amicus and Smart Pong are examples of this, but they are way too expensive. However, RoboPong is such a good bargain for the money. I am happy I bought it. The drills are awesome. I can also create the kinds of drills I want. It is very good for fitness as well. Good luck.

This robot is bigger than the cheaper version and it also has a light up "gun" that the cheaper version doesn't. It walks by itself, which I am not sure if the cheaper version does or not. It walks, talks, and fires it's "gun", lots of fun for a little boy. Hope this helps, let me know if you have anymore questions :)
