A cool toy, bu a toy is all it is. I can see myself getting board of making it dance, after a few days.

I saw Robonova at the Sandown Show and thought it great. I have always loved Robotics and this little fella is the business. It has a pc link so that makes it very adaptable to begginers and programmers alike.
Personaly I have always wanted a Sony Aibo but at a cool £1500 I am not likely to invest in one.
Mind you they are not making them anymore which is a shame :( but I think they were the ultimate toy.
I do own an i-cybie but since he is always going mental he doesn't get much air time.

I saw it at sandown as well, what a bloody stupid place to put thier stand, it virtually stopped the flow down 2 isles. I really don't see the point of it, can it make the dinner, wash up, clean the car, feed the cat etc etc..... no but it can dance !! I'm sure it's all very clever but for that amount of lolly I'd want it to do all of the above, reminded me of the tin man from the old wizard of oz film ;)

Steady there Fixxer do I sense a touch of hostility towards poor old Robonova. :mad:
Now I will agree the stand was not in the best place but is that his fault, no it is not. That little fella worked his heart out all day just so you could complain about him, shame on you.
I admit I lust after his circuits but then I am only human. Well part human, oh ok you found me out I'm not human at all.

I take onboard the fact that he cannot do the washing up but then I dont do the washing up either.
Anyway I have yet to see a helicopter that can do household tasks. :D

I have always wanted a sony Aibo but at a cool £1500 I am not likely to invest in one. Mind you they have stopped making them now but to me they were the ultimate toy.

Seriously though he may look like he just dances but the technology to get him to balance and interact with his enviroment is impressive and worthy of respect.

Now about sandown I thought it a great show,I bought my floats kit there and i really liked the new Raptor E620 better than the T-Rex 600.
Oh and by the way I have a pic of Robonova if you want one Fixxer :p

[Fixxxer]

Think that'll be a pass on the pic thanks DT ;) Still I haven't decided on the e-raptor or rex 600 as yet. I'll proly wait for the rappy as I was mildly impressed by the display flights & already owning a .30 I know it will do the job. I have to say that sandown as a whole was a disappointment for me after everything I have heard over the last few years about it being the premier RC show, I'm certainly in no hurry to travel down again. Still contemplating the 3DM's in a fortnight tho. :)

I had never been to Sandown before but I was told it was better this year than previous years so what does that tell you. Still as I had no expectations of what it would be like I enjoyed myself. I suppose if you go to a lot of shows you expect more and are not so easily pleased.

I remember going to an MG show that my husband said was supposed to be marvelous when he had been before only to find it was crap and we were well dissapointed in forking out the entry money.

I think you are right to wait for the Rappy thats what I am going for.
