Robosapien V2



Robosapien V2 (sometimes called Robosapien Version 2 or shortened to RSV2) is the second generation of Mark Tilden's Robosapien. He is nearly twice the size of the original robot, standing around 1.5 feet (46 cm) tall. Instead of caveman-like sounds, he can speak a large list of pre-recorded phrases, making him the first WowWee product to talk (not counting the original Robosapien's lines "Ouch", "Uh-huh" and "Rosebud").

Package Contents
The Robosapien V2 package contains the Robosapien V2, his remote controller, one green bowling ball, three red bowling pins and his instruction manual.

Batteries
The V2 requires 6 D batteries and 4 AAA batteries, split evenly between the robot's two foot compartments. His remote control requires an additional 3 AAA batteries.

Features list
The V2 model has the following notable features:


 * Infrared vision sensors for basic obstacle avoidance and long range object detection.
 * Basic color recognition camera sensor for detecting red, green, blue, or human skin. The camera is used for detecting his green bowling ball, red bowling pins, and the presence of a human being.
 * Sonic sensors for detecting loud sounds.
 * Grip sensors in both hands for detecting when an object has been successfully grasped or picked up.
 * Individually controllable feet, hands, arms, and shoulders with an extensive list of remote controllable body movements along with a library of stored movement sequences (animations).

Notable autonomous behaviors

 * Given proper lighting conditions he can track objects and react to the presence of objects held close to his face.
 * When he recognizes a bowling pin, he will ask you to place it in his hand. He will then try to find more bowling pins directly in front of him and if found, will put the bowling pin in his hand next to them.
 * He can bowl with his green ball and red bowling pins.
 * He will utter phrases relevant to each of his notable behaviors. For example, if you take an object he was tracking out of his view he will say "Where did it go?" or "Signal Lost!". When you place a red bowling pin in his hand, he will say "These belong on the floor!".
 * Free roam mode where he will explore his environment, avoiding obstacles with his infrared sensors.
 * React to noises in the room.
 * If you initiate the sequence from the remote control, he will interact with Robopet and Roboraptor for a brief time by giving them commands and making funny quips.

Additional features
The V2 comes with a repertoire of sayings and animations which can be activated from the remote control. Several features from the original Robosapien are included along with a parody of the Lost In Space robot's line "Danger, Will Robinson!" and many other one-liners. Much of his internal behavior can be deduced by the blinking patterns in his eyes, which change as he changes modes.

Colors
RS V2 first came out as White and Black. Later, bronze, blue, red, and black V2s were released.
