Inhaltsangabe

Endorsed by WowWee, Robosapien's manufacturer, this manual opens with the designer's remarks on how this type of robotics represents a grassroots rather than top-down approach for both PC and Mac users. An award-winning tinkerer offers step-by-step ways for being creative with this inexpensive robot often sold as a toy, e.g., how to operate it with remote programming, install a rechargeable battery, and even make a fashion statement. Included are b&w photos of assembled and disassembled Robospaiens, resources, and a discount coupon for a Robosapien purchase. Annotation ©2006 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
