Wowwee Tri-Bot™ Interactive Robot Toy Review

Yvonne Cote
I got the Wowwee Tri-Bot Interactive Robot for my son on his eight birthday. He was really surprised and elated after tearing apart the wrappers off its box, because he has never had anything quite like the Wowwee Tri-Bot Interactive Robot. For only seventy-nine dollars, I was able to give my son a lot of happiness and even a new playmate for his birthday. The Wowwee Tri-Bot Interactive Robot comes from the Wowwee brand, which makes various kinds of interactive robots. Some are dinosaur themed, for the little ladies there is even the Tinkerbell Robot. But I when I saw the Wowwee Tri-Bot Interactive Robot, I thought it looked really cute and even a bit "vintage". It reminded me of the robots I would see around when I was myself a child.

The Wowwee Tri-Bot Interactive Robot is a red robot with a cheeky smile. It does not look as creepy like other robots nor does it have the boxy look. Truly, as it is described in the box, the Wowwee Tri-Bot Interactive Robot has an expressive face with eyebrows that go up and down, and eyes that light up. The Wowwee Tri-Bot Interactive Robot measures seventeen by ten by twelve inches and weighs a mere two pounds. It is interactive because the Wowwee Tri-Bot Interactive Robot has built in games, makes (corny) jokes, says witty comments, and even tells stories. In short, a companion, a friend. Perhaps even better than a friend because you never have to fight with the Wowwee Tri-Bot Interactive Robot. The Wowwee Tri-Bot Interactive Robot is truly entertaining and my son loves playing with it. He finds it really easy to use, especially because it comes with a remote controller that is tilt-sensitive.

If you point at him and twist your wrist, the Wowwee Tri-Bot Interactive Robot will follow you around. This always cracks my son up. Another great feature of the Wowwee Tri-Bot Interactive Robot which I personally love is its alarm mode. When you set the Wowwee Tri-Bot Interactive Robot's alarm, it starts sounding off and running about. The only way to stop it is to catch the Wowwee Tri-Bot Interactive Robot. Truly, it is a real wake-up call. This takes the pain out of waking my son up for school every morning. To use the Wowwee Tri-Bot Interactive Robot, you only need eight double-A batteries and three triple-A batteries for the remote control. The battery has not yet run out on my son's first month of usage because of its standby and sleep modes. Truly a great find and an entertaining toy.

    Great Review! Do you think this can be used without the remote? I bought two at the thrift store last night for $1.50 each but they did not have remotes.
