The Robosapien That Could

It doesn’t take a prolific e-mailer to see that the spam of this holiday season is going to be… the Robosapien Robot (a seemingly cheap-ass Aibo knock-off). You’ve probably already seen these Robosapiens gaining sentience in local electronics stores, too. Has anybody bothered to check the specs on these monsters? At least I finally stopped getting ZipZap crap in my Inbox…

Designed by a scientist, Robosapien is ready to go right out of the box (just install his batteries). He comes to life at a touch of the ergonomically designed remote controller! Command him to perform one of his pre-programmed functions or program your own sequence of functions. The only limitation is your own imagination. Robosapien is packed with an awesome number of features made possible by advanced technologies:

• Fluid motions and gestures: fast dynamic 2-speed walking and turning; full-function arms with two types of grippers.
• 67 pre-programmed functions: pick-up, throw, kick, dance, kung-fu, fart, belch, rap and more; 3 demonstration modes.
• Fully programmable by remote control: Up to 84 program steps with 4 program modes for advanced operations; programmable “reflexes” to sound and touch stimuli.
• Fluent international “caveman” speech.

I’ll wait for the Tickle-me Robosapien, thank you.
