Wrex
the Dawg is a mischievous robotic mutt that performs up to 80 moves.
He moves his head, twitches his ears, wags his tail, sits, stands,
and scampers freely--infrared sensors help him to react to
movements, avoid obstacles, and detect and avoid drop-offs like
stairs. The remote control directs movements and commands 18
different tricks like "shake hands" and "play
dead".
Wrex
the Dawg's moods (Happy, Angry and Crazy) and desires
(Exercise, Call of Nature and Hunger) are expressed by his
"jackpot" eyes. His left eye displays his moods
and his right eye displays his desires. Change moods via the
Mood Dial on the remote control, bump him on his push button
nose to reset his "jackpot" eyes, or just let him
to change moods all by himself.
Wrex performs a number of tricks including
shake-a-paw, playing dead, and dancing. Each of his
moods features its own unique set of tricks. His
remote control matches his junkyard origins and allows
you to access all of his features and tricks using
dials and picture icons. Wrex zips around rapidly on
his two hind wheels and two jointed front legs.
This junkyard
dog occasionally malfunctions. When he begins his
"malfunction animation" it's your cue to reset him
using the programming hatch. If you don't enter a code in
time, he'll enter his "Breakdown Mode".
He features
swiveling ears, a moving jaw and a squeaky tail. Set
him to “Guard Mode” and have him warn you when
strangers approach. Select the "Off the Leash"
icon from the remote controller’s Mood Dial and he
will explore your home all on his own. When in "Sleep
Mode" he conserves battery life. Wrex can also avoid
edges and obstacles and will know when he has been
picked up. Wrex can “see” in front him and will
react to movements and obstacles in his field of
vision. The remote control (left) is very easy and
simple to operate.
We
exhibit these & other robots Free of Charge at
schools, science museum's, robotic competitions and
science expo's with
the hope that they inspire everyone... young & old.
