You can either control it via basic voice comands or by pushing a key pad. Walks forwards, backwards, left, right, dances, waves, touches toes, picks up magnetic things, sings, does sit ups and shuffles. Quite cool really - it comes out with some funny things too - made me laugh when it burped & then said 'scuse me !

What a saga. Rang up about the faulty robot "no problem we will swap it for a new one at your convenience". So arranged for it to be exchanged at work on Wed. Packaged it all up but they never came to collect it on Wed or Thur. Finally turned up on Friday BUT didn't bring the new one - ARGH. More phone calls until eventually they said they couldn't send out a new one until they had the old one back. It should be arriving tomorrow. We'll see !

whizz we had a similar problem and found that the ribbon was getting caught between the battery and the contact, is this the case with you. Also the voice recognisition bit is hard! Dh is struggling but getting there you have to not shout!

Yes will do - its just a pain in the bum with the bad courier they use only seemingly being in our area on certain days & we are both out in the week. Grrrr. I'll ring them tomorrow

Phone them up & complain.
Explain that it is faulty & ask for another one to be sent.
They will send a courier out to collect the faulty one.
I haven't tried my ds's yet, as I am keeping it 4 part of his birthday present.
I hope it will work!

My parecl (Ramon Robot, Terrier & PLay food) finally arrived today BUT has anyone else had a problem with the robot ??

He doesn't seem to respond to the headset/key pad & yes we have tried 2 new batteries
DS is most upset - fortunately we had the terrier in reserve but its a poor substitute for the dancing robot !

I ordered something a couple of days ago, but have not recieved a confirmation e-mail and the site will not allow me to log in to check status either. I have sent an e-mail to the e-mail address on the contact us page, but it has been bounced back to me I guess I need to find that phone number.
