Résumé

The Robosapien robot was one of the most popular hobbyist gifts of the 2004 holiday season, selling approximately 1.5 million units at major retail outlets. The brief manual accompanying the robot covered only basic movements and maneuvers -- the robot's real power and potential remain undiscovered by most owners -- until now! This is the official Robosapien guide -- endorsed by WowWee (the manufacturer) and Mark Tilden (the designer). This timely book covers all the possible design additions, programming possibilities, and "hacks" not found anyplace else.

Organized in "cookbook format" with numerous sidebars, charts, and tables
Packed with insider gems such as multipart command sequences, remote programming, Easter Eggs, and hardware modifications
Features numerous sidebars, charts, and tables
Introduction written by Mark Tilden, the designer of Robosapien
