With his low menacing stride and striking animation, Roboreptile is an impressive mix of mobility, multi-sensory technology and fiery personality. This adventurous beast awakens with a jump, whips his long tail and springs into action. He's capable of high-speed running on all four legs, and he can turn on a dime on two legs.
Roboreptile moves in many ways. He can be controlled directly with the remote, programmed to perform a sequence of functions, placed into guard mode, or put into his 'Normal Mode' where he will roam the environment. A full array of sensors - vision, touch and sound - allow him to freely roam and interact with his surroundings. When he gets overly aggressive, he can be calmed with a push of the 'feed' button on the controller. And when its time to rest, place the cowl over his eyes to put him to sleep.
Roboreptile includes more than 30 preprogrammed functions, all handled through the remote. Requires 9 'AA' batteries (not included). Measures 33' long. Colors may vary.

I just saw this exact product on the shelf at Target for $50. It's also on the WowWee website for $50. What's with the $250 price on Amazon??
I realized that after reviewing this, I had reviewed it while I was still in the middle of the 'Wow' factor. However, my Roboreptile is still pretty good after around 14 months. Its main problems are that it goes beyond eating batteries (it drinks them? inhales them?), using a full charge in around 4 and a half hours, and that the vision sensors have a range of less than three inches, in comparison to my Roboquad, which has, after around at least 56 hours of total use, got a sensor range of 4 feet. It also interferes with my Roboquad's vision, and has a tendency to bash its head against things when it swivels the neck from side to side, an animation that annoys me because it seems to interfere with vision. Amusingly, it is JUST the right height to get its head, neck, and shoulders under our couch, but then the lower back gets jammed. However, it also has many things going for it, such as its great speed (for a robot at least) which is not, as I said, 6 mph, but more like 3. A brisk walk outruns it easily, but in comparison to the speed of other WowWee robots, it's very fast. It also has excellent sound sensors, which are on either side of its head. This means it can hear all around it and tell which direction the sound comes from. Roboquad, in comparison, has a single sound sensor at the base of his neck. This robot is also highly articulated, with a mouth, tail, and neck, as well as two sets of legs. It would have been nice if it had articulated knees, but that would have been hard to sychronize with the leg movements, making this cost substantially more. Also, the hood is a nice touch, unlike the remote keycode sleep function of many other WowWee robots. He also does seem to have a believable, if artificial, personality-namely, getting frustrated really easily. But he is not as interesting to watch roam as a Roboquad, because all he does is run forward with a noticeable turn to the right, see obstacles, roar, back off, and do it again. On his own, he might be boring, but with another robot, he's pretty good even so. All in all, he is fun, but it would have been nice if he had better IR sensors and more roaming functions, like Roboquad's.
I've gotten Foodtracking to work as well. It's kind of fun.

Roboreptile is a very fun product to play with. Ai system is implemented and letting us know what future toys would be. It covers it's lack of Ai system with it's remote control. Few sensors that would detect the walls and object in its way. Movement of itself and also the tail is very nice made. I personally own I-cybie and robo-reptile and I enjoy very much. This might be a little slow for some of you.
My son begged for this so I got it for his 10th birthday. It thrilled him to pieces for about a day and then has sat on his desk for the last year untouched.
