Editorial Review
Designed by a robotics physicist who worked at NASA, the hulking Robosapien looks like a
Star Wars stormtrooper on steroids, with a stark black and white body and massive shoulders and feet. However, this Mini version is truly a baby compared to the regular Robosapien (B000161RFA), with much more limited functionality. Flip a switch on its back, and the Mini marches forward, assisted by little wheels on its feet. Levers behind the shoulders flip the arms outward, while buttons on the forearms open the robots claw-like hands, enabling it to pick up things. The Mini Robosapien is very solidly constructed, though its mobility seems somewhat limited. Two AAA batteries are required.
