Tri-Bot is a TRI-BOT is a personality packed interactive robot companion. He has a “pop-top” head and animated eyebrows. You can play games with him such as Pattern, Minefield, or Maze where you guide his movements and help him to succeed.
With a unique three wheeled mobile base Tri-Bot has complete movement in all directions. In a manner similar to Nintendo's ever popular Wii remote control (WiiMote), the Tri-Bot remote allows you to control his movements by tilting the remote control; Advanced tilt sensors in the remote sense the motion of your hand and converts it to infrared commands the robot understands.
TRI-BOT can tell you when he’s fallen over and even avoids obstacles!
This innovative talking companion is more than just your average robot. TriBot is fresh off the robot assembly line and is ready to interact with you whether it is playing with his built-in games or telling you jokes. Remember though, he's only a young robot so he will need help from you to give him commands using the remote controller.

| More Features: | Wheel Base: One of Tri-Bot's most impressive features is his mobility. He can move handily in nearly every direction and turns on a dime. This feat is accomplished through his unique three wheel base. If you look closely at the wheels, you will see that they have black rollers embedded in them. This means that the wheel acts as a rolling surface, even if the wheel itself is not turning. By turning some wheels and at times holding one of the others steady, the Tri-Bot is able to move diagonally giving him a total of 8 possible directions of movement. Forward, backward, left, right, and the four diagonal directions in-between. WowWee deserves huge kudos for bringing walking robots into the price range of the average consumer, but the walking robots usually have difficulty with carpeting, especially thick carpets. The Tri-Bot skitters freely around on short pile carpet like the kind I have. The carpet does make the games more difficult due to the variances in the carpet layout, but other than that he gets around like a champ. I have not had the opportunity to try him out on thicker carpeting yet. Personality: Tri-Bot has the personality of an affable hyperactive youngster. When he moves about he frequently makes humorous comments to spice up your playtime with him. In addition, he will make suggestions to play some of the games he knows how to play. His personality is quite funny and pleasant and you'll chuckled on more than one occasion, like when he's roaming the house and quipped “this floor needs vacuuming" or when he sings “roam free" before embarking on a tour of your home. Behavior Modes: Tri-Bot has several specific behavior modes, each with its own characteristics: Demonstration - when you press the DEMO button on the remote control, Tri-Bot will go into a short sequence of movements to show you several of his most interesting features, along with other information like what games he can play. Note, Tri-Bot will give you more information each time you press the the DEMO button, until he runs out of tips Homing Beacon - Pressing the HOME button on the remote triggers a fun feature that makes Tri-Bot try to find you by searching for a homing signal transmitted by the remote control. Once he has found you he stops. Note, he must be in line of sight of the remote control for this feature to work. Guard - the ever popular guard mode that almost all WowWee robots have. Place Tri-Bot in the area you want to guard and after you tap his head, he will scan the area and then enter guard mode. If he detects any movement or new objects he will let out a very impressive alarm sound while popping out his flip-top searchlight and ears. This can be a hilarious even when triggered by an unsuspecting pet or family member, especially in the dark. (Be nice though!). Note, he will exit guard mode after 30 minutes by himself, or sooner if you press the GUARD button again. Alarm Mode - Tri-Bot can act as a portable alarm for short periods of time (think of him more like an egg timer than a clock). After you press the ALARM button, you press his head down once for each minute you want him to wait before sounding the alarm. When the specified time limit expires, the alarm will sound which you can stop by pressing his head again. (Trust me, you'lll move quick. It's one hell of an alarm sound!) Program Mode - You can program up to 60 movement steps into Tri-Bot to be played back later at the press of a button. Only movement sequences are allowed though: the 8 movements on the directional pad and the spin left/right buttons. You can't enter any of the modes like guard more, alarm mode, etc., but its a very fun way to store a path around the rooms of your house and then have Tri-Bot run that path whenever you want (a great way to annoy family pets too!). Each movement entered from the remote control counts as one movement sequence. Tri-Bot remembers the movement duration (how long you held the button down on the remote control) for each sequence you add. Note, programs are lost when Tri-Bot's power is turned off. Free Roam - Pressing the button on the remote with the brain icon puts Tri-Bot in autonomous free roam mode. In this mode he will explore your home making humorous comments as he drives about. He will avoid obstacles and walls with his infrared detectors as best as he can. Note, he will exit free roam mode in about 3 minutes by himself, or sooner if you press another button on the remote control. |
