This video describes the first experience operating the WowWee! Tri-Bot. From out of the box, how it works, how to use it.

Of course the first, arguably the most important instruction is how to turn the robot volume down. This little red robot will drive you crazy as it rolls around your house. The usual WowWee robot, you can program movements and play 'em back. You can manually control the bot, it is really good at spinning in place, but it will move forward, back left and right.

The most fun happens when you set the Tri Bot "free" to roam on it's own. Just hit the brain button and it moves around avoiding, and occasionally engaging obstacles.

The downside, the tri drive falls over a lot when it engages a wall. The object detector is located high on the bot, so it runs into smaller things a lot, without even knowing about 'em.

I'll let you judge how much fun you may have with the robot. I have my eye on the tri-bot's drive motors and those multi-directional wheels!
