First Peek at Robosapien V2

balancedi writes "According to OnRobo, the New Robosapien looks to be a lot more fun but it had better be at a $200 price tag. While still controllable via remote he now is more autonomous. He also has more range of motion, better hands, a vision color system, and a laser tracking system."

Infra-red radar vision, eh?

Someone needs to read his physics textbook! Marketing hacks amuse me. Sometimes, I get the impression they're arbitrarily stringing together half-remembered words until their bullet point sounds cool enough.

This might work most of the time... but when you're writing the advertising copy for a toy marketed toward geeks? Really, now!

Next, they'll be claiming that Robo Sapien is capable of a running crawl. He'll be compatible with wired WiFi! He'll be able to jump to great depths, leaping tall buildings in a single dive!

Then again, maybe Robo Sapien really CAN emit both infrared and radar. Perhaps in 2006 he'll come in x-ray and microwave flavors, followed in 2008 by the gamma ray Robo Sapien.

At that point, who'll need the US army anymore?
