Product Description

Faster, smarter, better…Rover 2.0 goes where no app-controlled tank has gone before.

Mission possible.
Rover 2.0 is ready for any mission–prowling in search of new life forms, communicating via two-way audio, or shooting night-vision spy videos and photos.

Wireless navigation. Limitless fun.
Generating its own Wi-Fi wireless connection for your smart device, Rover 2.0 can travel up to 200 ft. unobstructed–or up to 100 ft. around walls and into other rooms. Navigation is easy. Sight through Rover’s on-board video camera, using the on-screen driving controls. Or navigate by G-Drive Mode, using your device’s accelerometer like a steering wheel for more realistic adventures.

Go where it goes, see what it sees…and share it all online.

Wide-angle video camera with infrared night vision.
An adjustable wide-angle camera lets you see what Rover 2.0 sees. You can even turn off the headlights remotely and see in the dark, using the camera’s undetectable infrared night vision. Even better? You can record and share your missions online, uploading video and stills directly from the App to your favorite Website or social media page.

Communicate via 2-way audio.
Halt, who goes there? A built-in microphone and speaker let you hear everything Rover 2.0 hears…and transmit your own reply, whether it’s a secret password or an addition to the family grocery list. With Rover 2.0, you have eyes and ears everywhere!

Route Memory
Lets you set Rover to record and repeat specific routes at your command.

Fun, but eats batteries

December 25, 2017

Verified Purchase

Fun toy. Works fine with Android Marshmallow. Moves fairly well on carpeting. Daylight camera quality isn't as good as the night vision. The G-force setting is the easiest way to guide the spy tank. Motor sounds nice and strong. Easy to maneuver in close quarters. This has a healthy appetite for eating 6 AA batteries in less than 30 minutes. Get rechargeable batteries to save money. I wish this was a plug-ion lithium battery instead. Batteries are NOT included - I think they were originally, but not now. This is NOT Bluetooth, it connects to your wifi network. However, just because it connects to your wifi doesn't mean you can actually use this as a camera when you're not home. It's not meant for that, and the battery life would be horrendous. Absolutely not possible and I didn't buy it for that - that's what my Canary security cameras are for: Canary All-in-One Home Security Device - Black

Synched up immediately and ran perfectly. Camera moves up and down. Transmits and receives sound. You can turn the headlights on and off from your tablet. My 11 year old absolutely loves this.

Great toy idea, but some refinements could eventually make it great

December 31, 2013

We bought this item for my 9-yr old son, who loves it. He tends to be more forgiving of the toys shortcomings. Nevertheless, here are what I have found to be the toy's pros and cons:

Pros:
+a) It came with 4 AA batteries... whew, we forgot to buy extra batteries (note, I would highly recommend investing in rechargeable batteries)!
+b) Set up was easy... install batteries, install app (iOS or Android mobile phone or tablet), attach antennae, turn the toy on, connect to it via WiFi, start the app, and play.
+c) My son has his own iPad. If your child needs to use your tablet or phone, then you can move this item to the Cons list :-)
+d) The app itself (needed to control the tank) is free and easy to learn and use.
+e) You're given two modes in which to drive the tank: 1) on screen left & right 1D joysticks (touchscreen sliders one on each side of the screen), and 2) device's own sensors allowing you to tilt and rotate the device (e.g. tilt forward and the tank goes forward); I found my son constantly switching between the two modes.
+f) My son loved the microphone and speaker built into the tank, enabling him to actually talk (crudely) with someone via the tank+tablet
+g) The camera built into the tank lets you see what it sees so you can drive it remotely without direct line of sight to the tank itself

Cons:
-a) Each time you pull the toy out to play with it, you must go to your devices WiFi settings and reconnect to it; not difficult, just a hassle/nuisance
-b) There is a noticeable lag between the time you interact with the tablet/phone and the time the tank responds.
-c) There is a noticeable lag and blur as your mobile device gets updated images from the tank's camera (think of the early days of webcams).
-d) Tank driving controls are not very fluid (either mode); it's very hard to actually drive a route without overshooting a turn and then overcorrecting. You spend most of your attention and effort on just trying to drive instead of focusing on where to go and what to do.
-e) Touch driving controls are unreliable, sometimes not acknowledging certain touches or movements; the designers should have made the touch sliders a little bigger (longer and slightly wider).

Overall, given our experience with it so far, I would still recommend buying it. My son enjoys it and it has added new life into our toy soldier war-games.

This item was a gift for a young man. Unlike prior experiences this remote controlled vehicle delivers. So far everything works and it is easy to maneuver.

Avoid the hassle of a return

March 2, 2015

It was disappointing to discover upon delivery that this is a Brookstone product which I usually avoid, from past experience. It looks cool and full of promise, but that is where it ends. The low resolution camera sucks and details at any range are not possible. I used a 10" Samsung Tab2 and Samsung Galaxy smart phone to operate the device via the free app. The app lagged and constantly over-steered my input in both modes. The range in line of sight on open ground was a disappointing 45', due to the video lag time, hidden operation is laborious and un-enjoyable. The glossy finish picked-up hand prints that were very noticeable. Night-vision feature is just as poor. Beyond a toy for young children who will likely use it once and shelf it, uses are very limited. There are much better options at lower prices that can accommodate GoPro wifi modules and true HD and UHD formats, even FLIR.

Bought this for our 13 year old grandson for Christmas. He had it up and running in a few minutes. He had a lot of fun with it while he was at our house. It looks to be well made and good quality.
