Meet MIP, the one of a kind balancing robot that will amaze you. Made by WowWee this robot is one of those toys that you know your kid will love, but you really kind of want to play with it too. I broke MIP out of the box about ten minutes after my son went to sleep and that's exactly what we did. Call me cold but when a robot gets mailed to me I call dibs.
Once you break this little guy out of his snazzy looking box you have seven ways to play. By turning his wheel you scroll through seven different modes, all colored coded and easily obtained. Roam is when you let the guy just move around in his surroundings. He is pretty fun to watch, more so when you see how he gets himself out of pickles- including attacking cats and annoyingly stationary sofas. Tricks is where MIP memorizes your own hand gestures to preform a task like spinning, going back and forth etc etc- he can learn up to 50 tricks. Cage is pretty fun too. With cage you block him and when he gets around the obstacle he does this "oh yeah" sound and spins around. Speaking of spinning his dance mode is awesome! Play a song and this little guys goes down to boogey town. Track is when MIP follows you around the house making some fun noises along the way. The one mode that really makes him stand out is stack. MIP comes with a tray and can carry his own weight in objects. This is pretty amazing, I mean can you carry your own weight? Nope I didn't think so! And on two wheels may I add- I can hardly stand on my own two feet!
