Test Drive A WowWee Rovio
Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 9 of December , 2008 at 5:19 am
WowWee’s Rovio is one of the first potentially practical, sort of low cost, slightly flexible telepresence robots that you can go to the store and buy, and if you’ve been thinking about getting one, WowWee is giving you the opportunity to try it out first. You can sign up for 5 minutes to try remotely driving a Rovio around a swanky apartment that’s not yours. It’s only available from 9am to 9pm, so my guess is that there’s somebody hiding in the bedroom in case you drive the Rovio through a window or something. If you manage to do this (or anything else destructive or otherwise hilarious), for heaven’s sake get a screenshot and send it to me.
In the meantime, Register Hardware has a nice review of the Rovio up, which might help you decide whether or not it’s worth $300.
