This new Wow Wee Robot is the 1st attempt by Wow Wee to use voice command that works about 60% of the time but the "Finger" switches work good for the things Joebot can do . Joebot is made to walk on hard surfaces and really doesn't move well on carpets . This robot reminds me of my Rex The Dawg from Wow Wee. I would say that Joebot is worth about $70 tops new and is enjoyable to me an old geek :)

My 5 year old son recieved this as a gift at Christmas and has loved all the crazy things that this robot does. He loves clapping out beats to which Joebot mimics perfectly. He love "shooting" back at Joebot with our tv remote when the robot is in battle-mode. We laugh ourselves silly with the funny things Joebot says and does. He's quite entertaining and my 2 year old son even plays with him on a regular basis.

Joebot is quite durable (He's been dropped many times -to which tells us, "If I didn't need you for batteries, I'd be so out of here!") and still functions properly. Our only 2 hang-ups with Joebot is that he needs to move on a hard, flat surface (no carpet) and that he doesn't hear voice command prompts very well. I'm just glad that you can squeeze his hands to get him to do what you want as a back-up when he doesn't seem to hear what you want.

I can't say I would've paid full price for what Joebot does, but since he was a gift we love him. Like I said before, he's played with on a regular basis. It's now June and we just barely replaced his batteries.

He's cool the main thing I don't like about him is his voice... Gets kind of old fast but he can do a bunch of stuff I like that he can sense movement with his infer red technology and you can play laser tag with him using a TV remote or other Jobot too. As I have mentioned on my Femisapian review be sure to check out both on [...] and also [...] to see more!!
