PC Mag reviews the Robopet from WowWee and writes - ‘You have to give WowWee credit. The company is capitalizing (like nobody’s business) on the huge success of last year’s WowWee Robosapien robot, rolling out in rapid succession innovative and unusual robot toys for people of all ages. First, we saw the realistic, well-designed Roboraptor. This was followed by an announcement of the promising—though much larger—Robosapien V2. Now we have the quirky Robopet. But whereas Roboraptor and Robosapien displayed flashes of design brilliance and appeal, the $99 Robopet is a blend of love-it-or-hate-it design and somewhat inconsistent operation.’
