Gifts for Guys Who Have Everything: Introducing, the JoeBot
Gifts for Guys Who Have Everything: Introducing
, the JoeBot
Typically my newsletters feature a gift idea of the week but, every once in a while, a product captures the imaginations of myself and all of my male colleagues and we just can't help but feature that single item. Discovery's Exclusive JoeBot has managed to do just that and we are excited to introduce you to our new favorite miniature mechanical man.
The JoeBot is a member of the Wow Wee Robot Family, a line of interactive, advanced robots that have features sure to entertain men and women of all ages.
We have decided to feature the JoeBot over "his" bionic brothers and sisters because "he" is the first of the family to respond to voice commands, stands 14" tall, and has one of the best personalities we've encountered in the artificial intelligence industry.
Throughout our time offering gift advice for men, we have found that 8 times out of 10 (not quite 9), an advanced toy can make the perfect gift for that guy who seems to have everything. Because of this, we spend a lot of time reading about, reviewing, and playing with unique gadgets.
After discovering this little gem, we launched our research routine. Reviews came first, and we learned that this little guy packs quite the punch. He can dance, play simon says, beat box, play laser tag, and go into what is called "Combat Mode" which allows him to sense objects that approach him and, when they get too close, to "shoot" at them with the red l.e.d.s in his hands.
Can you imagine JoeBot and a cat going head to head? Come on. We can't wait for those videos to start showing up on YouTube.
He also develops a personality and expands his vocabulary as he interacts with his new family. One reviewer expressed that her family has discovered that the JoeBot is quite resilient after dropping him several times.
Apparently, their JoeBot has started to say "If I didn't need batteries, I'd so be out of here!" every time he is dropped! Incredible!
Our JoeBot is fairly new and therefore lacks an extensive vocabulary, but we too have noticed that he can be quite sassy. While we watch tv, he roams the room and complains about being bored and has started to mock us when we ask him to grab a beer from the fridge! What a lovable little creature
The only two complaints that appear in reviews consistently and we have discovered ourselves are as follows.
1. He doesn't move well (or really at all) on carpet, so he is only hard wood or tile floor friendly.
2. He doesn't always pick up voice commands (ours grabs about 75% but we have read reviews that report as low as 60%).
Overall, we highly recommend the JoeBot as a gift for a man that fits the following profile:
He is fairly tech savvy and enjoys mechanics/learning how things work.
Despite "growing up," he has maintained a sense of adventure and youthfulness. His imagination is still active and he would prefer having his buddies over for a game night to a movie or television marathon.
His sense of humor is slightly sarcastic and somewhat slapstick (youthful). This will allow him to appreciate the quirks that his new little friend develops as they bond.
"I don't think you need another beer. How about you grab me one?" Oh JoeBot, you know the way straight into our hearts
