WowWee MIP - Self-Balancing Robot GYRO [820]

Description

The WowWee MiP ("mobile inverted pendulum") robot is the first of its kind on the mass market. It's a toy robot that does what most other toy robots do: it rolls around your living room floor, making squawks and beeps and bumping into things, and being really cute in general. However, the MiP does it with style. The mechanical design is not inherently stable. If the MiP is turned off, it will not stand upright on its own wheels (a handy stand is provided for display). Instead, an onboard sensor suite and powerful ARM Cortex processor keep it teetering upright just like any self-respecting science fiction robot (or slightly less self-respecting tourists on Segways).Product Features:World's first self-balancing robotBalances all by itself and is controlled using hand gestures7 unique and exciting game modes – Motion, Tracking, Dance, Roam, Tricks, Cage, GameCan carry its own bodyweightUse the free app to drive, dance, balance and battlePerched comfortably atop a pair of dual-directional wheelsTrace a path on your smartphone for it to followWorks with both Apple and Android phonesMiP can travel at 0.3 mph on a flat smooth surfaceTricks: Signal the MiP to sway in all directions and clap twiceCage: MiP is trapped in a virtual cage and it's up to you to prevent its escape by blocking all the exitsGame: Stack up objects on MiP's tray while trying to keep it upright
