WowWee Roborover™

The adventurous Roborover robot is a talking, roving explorer with an inquisitive personality and quest to uncover hidden treasure and other imaginary riches. Roborover’s tread-based caterpillar tracks allow him to conquer all sorts of indoor terrain throughout his adventures and his remote-controlled headlights brighten even the darkest of rooms.

The Roborover robot is an easy-to-use, exploring buddy, who is always ready for an adventure, no matter how rare the riches or difficult the trek. Perfect for younger audiences, this little explorer’s inquisitive personality grows more confident as children navigate and play with him. With his tractor-like treads, Roborover can roll over uneven surfaces and up inclines, hunting for treasure in every nook and cranny of the house – from inside closets to under tables and chairs. His expedition is led via a remote-control, though he can also explore independently, so Roborover can be sent first into a dark room as a scout and his LED headlights will illuminate the way. Roborover’s various sensors allow him to perceive his surroundings and communicate his findings to his companion, including if he falls over or detects an unusual obstacle in his path. While exploring, if Roborover gets separated from his owner, he can easily find his way back, even in the dark, through use of a homing function on the remote.

Have you seen the Miracle Mile in Miami, the Broadway lights in New York, or the cliffs of Capri, Italy? Roborover has – in fact, he’s even been to a hoe-down in Wyoming! Fans can join in the fun of Roborover Adventures at www.RoboroverAdventures.com, where the travels of this curious, exploring companion are captured through photos snapped along the way. Fans can visit Roborover online to download the paper cartoon cutout of the robot, and take him wherever they go – the cutout is small and flat enough to fit into a purse or carry-on. Snap photos of adventures to share with the world, including your hometown, famous landmarks, and holiday traditions, and upload the images along with a caption to the interactive map on the Roborover Adventures website. Share information about the geography of your hometown while learning about other cultures across the globe. Children under age 13 will need to have parental consent for them to submit their photos, in accordance with COPPA requirements. For more information on how to join in the fun, visit www.RoboroverAdventures.com.

Appropriate for ages eight and up, Roborover requires four “C” batteries and three “AA” batteries for the remote (not included). Roborover robots feature standby and sleep functions that preserve battery life after two or ten minutes respectively.
