Toys and Games Reviews of Tomy I-SOBOT Robot
Customer Review: A Fragile Expensive Robot Toy
Summary: 3 Stars
I-Sobot is a fragile toy robot. It has many warnings about the many ways you can break it.
It is quite an entertaining little bot when YOU are controlling it. But if you put down the remote control and watch, I-Sobot just sits there, yawns a bit and then "falls asleep." For EVERY action that you want it to perform, YOU need to hit buttons or joy sticks on its remote. There are hundreds of key combinations, none of which are easy to remember. (I think there was one called A.A.A that did something fun.)
It is missing some of the key features that most robots have these days. It has no mode that will let it run on its own. It cannot sense the edge of a table and of course will break if it falls. It cannot sense something in front of it. It only has sensors that keep it from falling over, although with feet nearly as long as it's legs are tall, It does not need sensors that much. It has a small vocabulary of words it understands and it does pretty well with that if in a quiet room. It's own voice is not very loud which is a good thing as it is quite chatty.
There is a program mode which is a bother to use.
If you are looking for a robot toy with a bit more "robotics" in it, the Robosapian and other Wowee robot toys are a much better bet. If you want to teach your older child (12+) about real robotics the Vex kit is the way to go.
If you are looking for something to ENTERTAIN a 8-13 year old that is VERY careful with toys or an adult that needs another bit of technology on his desk, this would be just the thing.
PS. You've got to love that first "review." It was probably written by the I-Sobot marketing team.)
Description of Tomy I-SOBOT Robot
He might be pocket-sized, but this miniature high-tech humanoid robot packs a huge punch. i-SOBOT is a 6.5-inch biped bot that's fully articulated, features voice command recognition and can speak a vocabulary of over 200 words and phrases. What's more, he can dance, perform his own special karate moves complete with self sound effects, and can motor forwards, backward, side-to-side or diagonally. He'll even lay down when he's had enough - and get back up again when it's time to go.i-SOBOT is powered by 17 customs developed servo-motors and 19 integrated circuit chips. He features a built-in gyro sensor and comes fully assembled, ready for action. He can be controlled in a variety of ways: by pre-programmed actions, user programmed actions (done easily with the LCD remote control), or by real-time remote control or voice commands. Robot requires 3 "AAA" rechargeable batteries; remote requires 4 "AAA" batteries, all included. Measures 6.5" tall.
There's no shortage of fun with the amazing i-SOBOT, the World's Smallest Robot. Packed with over 200 words and phrases, and more than 200 pre-programmed movements, this robot can do everything from saying goodbye to dancing the hula. Recommended for kids aged 10 and up, the i-SOBOT is ready to rock 'n' roll right out of the box.

Robots Moves From Talking To Dancing
Also performing by programmable memory and by the sound of your voice, the i-SOBOT will make your day and impress your friends with his moves. Putting the meaning back into "action-packed," the 6.5-inch tall robot dances to the beat, does push-ups and somersaults, imitates animals, hula dances, plays air guitar, kicks and punches with sound effects, and even responds to applause. Not only does the i-SOBOT talk with a vocabulary of 200 words and phrases, it also plays its own music.
