Manufacturer's Description

Roboraptor – A Fusion Of Technology And Personality

Dinosaurs may be extinct, but Roboraptor brings them into the age of technology. At 32 inches long, Roboraptor is a realistic robotic beast who is easily controlled and mastered with a remote control.
Roboraptor’s life-like animatronic motion allows him to walk and run as well as hold a predatory stance. Roboraptor has multi-sensors all over his body enabling him to hear, see and feel people and the environment around him. He has sensors in the head and tail while sonic sensors detect sound and direction.

Look Out! Roboraptor has a strong jaw with powerful snapping action with the ability to bite you and pick up his prey! With three changeable moods, the hunter, the cautious and the playful mood, Roboraptor will keep you on your toes for hours. Beware, if you go too close to his face when he’s hunting he will snarl and hiss, but if you touch his face when he’s in playful mood, he’ll nudge up to you and nuzzle into your hand.

Fluid biomechanical motion Roboraptor roams like a real dinosaur. He’s got real walking, running, & predatory motions and realistic head and tail movements. His emotional expressions are detailed through animations and sounds. His movements can be directly controlled using his remote control or you can allow him to roam about on his own. Roboraptor can follow a path, set by a ‘laser’ traced on the floor. He has a powerful snapping action – put something in his mouth and he’ll play ‘tug of war’. Multi-sensor environmental awareness Roboraptor can hear, see and feel people and the environment around him. He has life-like animatronic motion with realistic dinosaur actions and behaviour. With directional ir radar he can see and avoid obstacles and detect movements. He has multiple touch sensors in the head and tail. His sonic sensors detect sound and direction.

User-changeable moods " Roboraptor’s attitude and behaviour are mood dependent. Approach him when he’s feeling playful and he’ll nuzzle into you; use caution when he’s in aggressive hunter mode or he might bite you! 3 moods – aggressive hunter, cautious and playful. Keep intruders out of the room with roboraptor’s sight, sound and directional room guard settings. "

The age of the dinosaur has returned!

Customer Reviews

Roboraptor
Having purchased a Roboraptor for my daughter it has generally lived up to expectations. It looks VERY good and it's movements are impresive. Sometimes when it is doing its own thing it does not seem that responsive to the controller, however giving the 'stop' command first fixes this.

Do not use ordinary batteries for this machine as its performance is vastly improved by using top notch (2000+ mAh) NiMH rechargable batteries. The difference to the walking and general movements was very noticable it also allowed it to walk on more surfaces.

I would recommend this product to anyone who is interested in robotics or just wants a cool looking interesting toy.

Cool robot but limited interest span
Well just got one of these for my birthday and it is pretty cool. Looks good and is quite amusing to play with.


The only problem is that most people will lose interest in it after 5 minutes. The description of it gives the impression it will be running about the place in a smooth fluid way, reality being it very jerkily waddles about the place slowly. If you have wooden or laminate floors it doesnt cope very well.

so really its a fun novelty toy that kids will quickly get bored with. For me its a cool toy that I'll keep around, next to my Zoidzilla!

Roboraptor - 2nd time around
The walking motion is excellent and the whole toy is generally so animated than. I took note of another review which indicated that the batteries made a big difference and tried a set of ordinary batteries then a set of brand name alkaline batteries. The toy did work with the ordinary batteries but with the alkaline batteries, it worked with much more vigour.
