HONG KONG, CHINA -- (Marketwire) -- 09/29/08 -- Editors Note: A photo and a video are included with this press release.
What stands just over a foot tall, has three wheels, an animated face and a contagious personality? WowWee, an Optimal Group company (NASDAQ:OPMR), has announced the launch of the fun-loving RS Tri-bot(TM) robot, the next generation in the award-winning Robosapien(TM) line of entertainment robots. The RS Tri-bot robot is an interactive talking humanoid robot whose running commentary and dynamic personality make him a comical sidekick. With bright LED eyes, animated eyebrows, and a "pop-top" head, the RS Tri-bot robot is an expressive companion - a welcome addition to any home or family. Featuring various play modes and hours of entertaining content, the RS Tri-bot robot features joke telling, story sequences, and built-in games.
Equipped with an omni-directional, three-wheeled base for speed and agility, users can move RS Tri-bot precisely in all directions using the remote controller. The remote features a tilt-sensitive trigger that, with a simple press of the trigger and tilt of the hand, enables the RS Tri-bot robot to move in the corresponding direction.
The RS Tri-bot robot features seven play modes which allow him to interact with his user and environment in different and exciting ways, including:
- Free Roam Mode
In Free Roam Mode, the RS Tri-bot robot is capable of roaming around his environment independently. Built-in tilt and infrared sensors also provide robot environmental awareness, enabling him to comment on and avoid obstacles as he explores his user's home. The RS Tri-bot robot can even detect when he has fallen over, informing his user in his own wacky way!
- Alarm Mode
The Alarm Mode function allows users to program a countdown alarm in one-minute intervals (up to 12 minutes). Once the alarm goes off, the RS Tri-bot robot will drive around frantically, shouting, waving his arms, and sounding the alarm until his user is able to catch him and hit him on the head.
