This new little robotic MiP from WowWee can do a lot of impressive things!
February 21, 2014 
WowWee’s MiP robots were at CES, but I didn’t have time to play with them. So I was glad to find them at Toy Fair 2014. Equipped with GestureSense technology, you can use hand motion controls to control MiP. You can also program it to do up to 100 movements in a row. You’ll see a mini demo of that feature in the video I shot. They have a built in speaker and a built in microphone. So they can dance to music that’s on your smartphone, which will play right on, MiP, or MiP can dance to external music and follow the beat heard through its internal mic. But wait, there’s more! There' also a free app that lets you drive MiP, play games & more. I was impressed how MiP can carry stuff like a can of soda, or another MiP while balancing on two wheels! It kind of looks like a robotic Segway with a head and arms. Available Spring 2014 for $99.99. It will be a Best Buy exclusive for three months, and then it will be widely available. You can pre-order it now on the WowWee website, but it’s $119.99 there.
