WowWee's latest robotic creations, the RoboQuad, the RS Media and... a singing likeness of Elvis Presley... took the spotlight earlier today at CES Unveiled. Yeah, the singing Elvis sounds creepy, but check out the video to see just how creepy.
Is there any way to get a message to the Engadget guys at the show and have them ask the WowWee people if the Elvis Head is programmable by a PC?
The video of the Roboquad is awesome. The more I see of that crazy bot the more I want one. I really like the way it moves; both head and chassis (thorax?). I also want to know more about it's ability to assess the size of objects in a room. What does it do with that information?
If anyone has more information, videos, or pictures, please post a message on our Roboquad forum:
I think the "king" Elvis is going to be the first of many more supper stars shining through wow wee marketing...A great way to display and give tribute to a great artist!
Hey, it is the King. Where is Elvis audio? Why him vs others? Duh-- Still Big following... Can't believe until you see the older and younger lined up to have ELVIS toy with THEM. What a tribute! He will always command the STYLE!!

It says check out the video to see how creepy the singing Elvis sounds, but you can't really hear it sing?. Oh well, not really a big deal.

I would like to be the first to welcome our new Elvis singing robot overlords.
