Last year we had the absolute honor to
present WowWee’s MiP self-balancing robot on our holiday list. This year we are even more overjoyed to
present the MiPosaur! A Robot Dinosaur!
WHAT WHAT! MiP which stands for “mobile inverted pendulum” is the base behind the robotics of
these super fun toys. WowWee had made
such a splash last year with their toy that this year the expectations were
high. Some companies would fold under the pressure, but not WowWee- they just
raised the bar even higher! Starting with
the tech that they used originally for the MiP they created an entirely new
experience for us to enjoy this holiday season!
MiPosaur
comes with three ways to play- a downloadable app and the included Beacon Sense
infused trackball- that he keeps tabs on at all time, and he responds to your
hand movements as well. Programmed with
Evolving Intelligence, MiPosaur has different moods and responds differently to
your interactions depending on those moods.
You can train him to respond to different hand gestures, training him to
respond in different ways to each way your hands interact with him. Using the track ball, you can take him for a
walk, play dino in the middle, play fetch, feed the little guy and dance with
him! The app features tons of way to
play. You can drive MiPosaur around, feed it socks, or even cavemen- and watch
his reactions! Trace a course for him on your devise and watch him recreate it
right in front of you as well.
The technology
behind this robot is about half the fun, the other half is the way it interacts
with your child, and yourselves. You can
see what mood he is by the lights that appear on his head, the dino goes
through a range of emotions, from curious to just plan happy. We loved the fetch feature- yes it is the
little things in life, but the best part about this is the more we play fetch
with the MiPosaur, the more he loves it as well! All the lights, noises and
tricks in the world cannot beat the fact that the more you play with MiPosaur
the more he will respond and grow as a toy.
He will be quick to change moods, respond to your movements, and enjoy
your favorite activities even more after each interaction. I would have never believed it to be true,
but as we have been really playing with it at least three times a week for the
past month, we have noticed that each time his response is just a little more
positive and each hand command he responds a little more swiftly as well. The programing is just that amazing.
So if
your child is interested in awesome robots- look no further, this is the best
one available this holiday season for a reasonable price ($79.00 on amazon with
free shipping). Easy to use for any age,
and has huge replay value- you will not regret introducing MiPosaur to your
family
