i-Sobot
Every so often you see a news report from some tech fair featuring a prototype robot with mind-blowing abilities and then...nothing. Who knows why none of them reach the market? And who cares when you can play with i-Sobot?

i-Sobot
According to the Guinness Book of World Records, this jaw-droppingly impressive little guy is the world's smallest humanoid robot in production. But i-Sobot's size is only the beginning. Standing 6.5" tall, this triumph of RC technology is the most impressive robot we've ever seen, and we've seen a few.

i-Sobot and Remote

Thanks to 17 custom designed actuators, a gyro-sensor and a whole bunch of geeky stuff we can't quite fathom, i-Sobot's movements are phenomenally fluid and lifelike. He can dance, hula, kung fu kick, play air guitar, perform push-ups, somersaults, animal impersonations and much, much more. i-Sobot even responds to applause and can beg for mercy, re-enact Western gunfights and pretend he's drunk. Amazing!

The Nifty Remote

Using a nifty remote with an integrated LCD screen you can control i-Sobot in the traditional RC fashion or make him perform a repertoire of over 200 special action patterns. You can also create 'scripts', user-defined sequences that he can run through again and again. i-Sobot will even respond to your voice. Simply ask him a question and he'll come back with various appropriate but unpredictable responses.

Awww-some!

Brimming with personality, i-Sobot is no slouch in the sound department: as well as countless sound FX, he can say over 200 words and phrases and he'll even play your MP3s. We guarantee you'll become totally obsessed with this state of the art show-off! And unlike the Threepios and Artoos of this world, i-Sobot is small enough to take anywhere. Sit him on your desk and you'll be unable to keep your mitts off his remote. In fact we think i-Sobot is destined to become a landmark gizmo in the history of gizmology. Your new best friend? Absolutely!

Press Reviews...

press review "Seventeen custom-designed actuators and a gyro sensor give him astounding poise. The average British human can barely coordinate themselves enough to get dressed and go to work. How will we ever compete against an army of little robots re-enacting gunfights, pretending they're drunk, doing animal impressions and responding to applause? Oh, that's right, we'll just put them in our pockets. Panic over."
