As one of the world leading robot manufacturer company, WowWee has invented numerous types of robots that we can’t even imagine of.

Now, WowWee has another new creation and this new fellow will fascinate you. Guys, let’s meet this Tri-Bot.


Unlike the normal Robosapien or Roboreptile, this WowWee Tri-Bot is slightly different from the others (At least this Tri-Bot is been well programmed by emotions and personality) and this will be a credit for this Tri-Bot.

You must be wondering, how did Tri-Bot got its name? Well, the full name form for the Tri-Bot is “Tri-Wheel omni-directional base robot” (Nah, just forget about the middle blah, blah, blah and take the front and the end word, and you will get this ‘Tri-Bot’ name).

Basically, Tri-Bot is a legless robot, instead is uses three wheels which are powered by three motors. In addition to the above features, there also three infrared sensors which located at the mid-chest and mid-back of the Tri-Bot.

The Tri-Bot can be easily controlled by remote using a tilt sensor, where it only needs three AAA batteries and your Tri-Bot is set to go.

The best part about this Tri-Bot is with less than hundred bucks, you can take the brand new Tri-Bot back to your home. This Tri-Bot will be a good companion for your long and hot summertime.

The World’s Smallest Projector or a Maginifier?

Do you spend most of the time, lying on the sofa and munching a big bucket of popcorn? If you answered yes, then congratulations consider yourself a “Couch Potato”.


For those movie lovers that like to watch at home, there is a new alternative for you here. Optimo Pico, the smallest and cutest projector in the world, which having the size almost like an iPod, has been released by Texas Instruments company recently.

According to the spokesperson from Texas Instruments, they have had planned to co-operate with one of the well known Taiwanese Projector company, Optoma to bring this Optimo Pico into commercialize product.

“We try to renovate and build a Projector that compatible with the mobile phones and media players functions, and this Optimo Pico is totally an outstanding projector that you’d ever seemed,” Said by the Texas Instruments company chairman.

Although this Optimo Pico is working fine with the battery-powered device, the main problem is the battery life can only last for two hours (Oh my god, it will be really annoying if you have to pause the movie and changing the battery). I think they need to figure something up with this battery matter, if they want this product to be commercialized in the market.

Overall, this portable projector would be another trendy hit, when it’s officially release for the public in the near future.
