Weebot
item #SI507 by Sharper Image

This cute little robot looks more like a creature that you would find scurrying around in a science fiction movie - complete with eyes, whiskers and a tail! You control his movements through a "translator" remote control. WeeBots are sold as "non-hostile" alien creatures that have invaded earth, hence the need for a translator.

There are eight functions that your new alien pet can perform - forwards, backwards, clockwise, counterclockwise, feed, dizzy spins and dance. They also respond to affectionate petting and tickling. If left alone for too long, they will, like all robo-pets, go into sleep mode. Of course, with no remote - this whole section is quite moot (hint, hint). I purchased a set of WeeBots (one WeeBot and two PeeWeeBots) on eBay still in the original box, so now I have a remote :)
