WowWee - MiP Robot - White/Black

I love my MIP rebot. I bought the rechargeable battery pack from the website. Which is great because it goes through batteries like crazy. The app for the rebot is awesome. I would recommend this rebot to everyone.

Easy to get up and running…however, the batteries lasted only a day. Highly recommend to get rechargeable batteries; however, that adds to the overall cost of operation. The company should have implemented a rechargeable battery built into the device. Could be better the arms aren't functional and the boxing is kinda of a gimmick but really neat for the kids. It operates similar to a Segway and it is very neat the first time watching to balance itself. If you have the money to burn than it is neat to have…we bought the black & white version.

Very entertaining for kids and family! Easy set up on iPad, iPhone, and on iPods! I think it helps kids to understand how to take care of electronic equipment. The only down fall on this devise is it should come with a rechargeable battery system instead of using AAA batteries!

I was so happy to see my adult son open and immediately play with this little robot! He was already making plans on how to trick and surprise his friends with it. He also learned to balance and maneuver MiP quickly as he really enjoyed playing with it. As a mother it gets more challenging each year to find the right gift for my adult sons. This one was definitely a hit!!! My only concern is that I've heard it uses up batteries too quickly.

These little guys are just amazing! I had no idea how much they could do. I purchased the white one first and loaded the app. I saw some on the video's and went through the modes and was sold on "I have to get another" so my son and I could play together. The combat is the greatest! When one gets shot and hit to a point that kills him he just drops like a rock! So funny, can't get enough of it, and they dance, take challenges, follows hand gestures, and combat! What more could you want for less than eighty dollars! Watch for sales they come around and if you like geeky toys this is a must have!

I purchased this for my 6 year old grandson for Christmas. He has enjoyed playing with it so far. It is not perfect, but overall does a pretty good job. I wished that the batteries lasted a little longer or that it came with rechargeable ones. He also enjoys being able to control it from his iPad Mini.

MiP Rocks!! (Roomba+R2D2+Segway) / 10 = MiP (1/10 Scale Robot) MiP does a lot for the price, using Segway style drive/balance system, has several built in games that show off the technology and features of this novelty Robot. Your dogs will freak out and love it when it is in free roam mode chasing them. When dogs bark MiP freaks out and runs away. Sensors, Mic, LED, Speaker., Segway Drive and Bluetooth connectivity. they packed tons of technology into this little device. MiP also supports Apple and Android phones and Tablets. This allows you to drive MiP like an R/C car. There are more Games built into the app that you can't do without the use of a phone or tablet. That being said it works without it but better if you have it. It uses the latest in Bluetooth which will be known as SMART Bluetooth in ALL devices by 2016. Read below for more on that, MiP uses Bluetooth 4.0LE (Low Energy) a rather new technology, soon to be the new standard under the name SMART Bluetooth on all devices by 2016, but is only found on newer Tablets and phones. There is a list on the website of supported tablets and phones, One last thing although it says ages 8 and up, I would recommend adult supervision and to never use it on a counter or table always the floor.
