I met a Roboreptile at London Zoo

Reptiles in a tank in London Zoo went face-to face with the first ever robotic lizard on Tuesday. Roboreptile - made by the same people as Robosapien - was put in a tank with real-life lizards to see how they would react to each other. Press Packer James was there to see what happened.

The iguana eating some banana out of Roboreptile's mouth. "The first thing I thought when I saw the Roboreptile was that it looked quite funky for a lizard as it has black and white stripes! I wasn't sure what would happen but I thought it might be attacked by the real lizards. Instead what happened was that the real ones looked at the robot and seemed quite shocked. I don't think they were used to having a stranger in their tank. Then the remote control was used to make Roboreptile move and scream which made the little lizards run away as they didn't like it! They stayed away and were very still after that. The iguana, which was bigger and not as scared, was just pacing around. When someone from the zoo put a piece of banana in Roboreptile's mouth, the iguana ate it! They got Roboreptile to perform his different modes with the remote control. They made him look angry and then calmed it down before taking it out. Afterwards, I got to play with it outside while it was roaming around. I thought it was really good." James, 10, Letchworth!

In my opinion, the Roboreptile has some very good features and is very clever with its sensors located around its head. Plus its tail is very life-like. The only dissapointment, was that it hardly moves. On a thin carpet or vinyl floor, on standing walk or on all fours, this was the only let down for me. I havn't personally seen the other products similar in its range (RoboRaptor, RoboPet etc) but if they are as entertaining and move a bit quicker, I would put the extra pennies together and get one of them Help other customers find the most helpful reviews   Was this review helpful to you?   Report this | Permalink Comment Comment   5 of 8 people found the following review helpful: 4.0 out of 5 stars Fun enough...., 30 Mar 2007 By  Mr K (North Yorkshire) - See all my reviews A bargain at this price, its 90 quid in Argos !!
