Cool robot toy

Hi,

I do have several robots at home (Roomba and Scooba) and I think they are great. I would like to offer a robot toy as a gift to my 10 year old nephew because he seems very interested by robotic. What is the hottest robot this year?

Thanks in advance for your help

Hi,

Thanks for your help.
They are all great. I think i’ll go with PLEO for this time, and perharps buy Mr. Personality or Femisapien at Christmas.

I heard that Wow Wee will bring a bunch of new robots this year. Maybe you guys at RobotShop can give us some ideas on what exactly is coming in?

I agree that Wowwee has some really interesting toys made for that age range. robotshop.ca/home/suppliers/wow-wee-en/index.html

My personal preferences are the roboquad

or the Spy Video car (less “robotic”, but very unique).

I grew up with LEGO, and would have loved the programmable kits, but they didn’t exist back then.

Lucky nephew.
