Wrex

Just a quick update: looks like Wrex, the robotic dog from WowWee that we got a first look at back in January at CES, is now up for grabs on Amazon.com. Here’s a video and a quick rundown on the specs:

- Three moods (happy, angry, crazy)
- Three desires (exercise, hunger, call of nature)
- Eye icons combine to show 10 different expressions
- Edge and obstacle avoidance
- Guard mode; IR sensors and speakers
- 9 motors
- Requires 4x C and 2x AA batteries (remote uses 3x AAA)
- MSRP $149.99

The Wrex website has lots more specs and detailed info, if you’re interested.
