Tank Bot : Iphone-android controlled A.I. Robot from deskpets

This is the tankbot from deskpets.
get it for $29.95-$39.95
It has 3 modes
obstacle avoidance mode
artificial intelligence mode
RC mode controlled with your i phone i pod i pad or android device.

the box includes the robot and an infra red transmitter that plugs in to your head phone jack.

the A.I mode and obstacle avoidance mode work great and the robot has a lot of personality and makes a lot of great noises.

It has 2 infrared lights on the front of the robot that shine against walls and reflect back to the infra red receiver on the nose to tell it when their is a wall in front of it.

the A.I mode is a lot of fun and the robot will run around the floor and play around, take naps, and have some robot fun.

The RC mode is not very responsive, the transmitter is not very powerful and the controls are not very responsive.
the good thing is you can control any of the deskpets out their with the free app so download it and drive around your skitter bot and tredbot as well.
Get the app hear
