My Robosapien still alive and he’s 17 years old. Retro toys and gaming technology for some reason lives longer than today’s devices. Roboraptor stills also alive.
I remembered when I asked my dad to buy one of those. It was too expensive to afford so my dad went to the nearest Mc Donald's and bought a happy meal knock off version for Christmas. I legit believed it was real. Best dad ever.
I'm 24 and the roboraptor my parents bought me when I was little still sits on my desk. It's more of a symbol of sacrifice my parents made to purchase it. I appreciate it everyday more now than i appreciated playing with it as a kid.
I remember getting a robosapien for Christmas when it came out. My dad opened up the box while I helped my sisters take their stuff to their rooms. It was the first time I ever heard my dad cuss so much.
I begged for a roboraptor and thought I had the upper hand when I asked it from Santa.. Oh how naive I was.. I got something completely different along with a "letter from Santa" telling me that a lot of kids asked for that toy and he wanted me to have something special.. Nice one mom and dad
Lmao I remember owning one of those loved it but ended up losing the remote so I could only flip the switch at the bottom for it to move and stuff on its own. Anyways after a period of time I put it away in the cupboard which basically is right up against the bed so you could probably imagine the fun night I had trying to sleep in my bed with this fucking toy going off at like 2 in the morning 🤣🤣🤣
Yeah, i wanted a robo raptor more than pretty much anything at one point when i was a kid buit it was too expensive and i got like, the really cheap version on 4 legs instead and had to pretend not to be dissapointed.
"I've been waiting 20 years" This is the verbal embodiment of my feeling when I buy toys as a 29-year-old adult. Professional style Yo-yo's and weird action figures are the things that give me that feeling. One year I will get my hands on a Street Shark.
I'm 33 and I'm the same way... I had a couple Street Sharks when I was a kid. I really liked how they made the bodies out of that soft rubber material while the limbs and accessories were all rigid ABS plastic. My absolute favorite was the "Jet Pack Jab Hammerhead" figure. He was so cool! In fact, I'm pretty sure I still have it around here somewhere... Just the figure though unfortunately since all of the accessories and such are long gone. I can recall tearing apart the jetpack at one point because I really liked the way the wings looked. I thought they looked kinda like blades and I wanted to make like a folding throwing knife/glaive type thingy with them, so I took it all apart and cannibalized the wings. Looking back it was kinda silly and I wish I would have left it as it was. Some other cool toys I can recall from that period were some of the figures from "Mummies Alive!" (kind of a dumb show, but a few of the toys were pretty cool). There were some other ones too that I just thought of before that I'm completely forgetting about now. Dammit. It's like right there just out of reach! Eh, whatever. Anyhow I also got back into yo-yos myself on and off over the years throughout my adult life. I picked it up again around 2 ½ to 3 years ago and have continued throwing since, and I've got a pretty decent sized collection now. I have all of the same models that I owned and/or liked when I was a kid plus a bunch of others that I've picked up here and there. Out of all of the models and play styles, my favorites are still the old-school flared/"Saber Wing" ball-bearing responsive throws that were all the rage when we were kids, you know like Yomega and Hyper YoYo? I still love the versatility of the "Saber Wing" style body shape and the feel of those old plastic responsive yoyos. Don't get me wrong, professional high-performance aluminum throws and bi-metal composite designs are really cool and can be really nice, but it's hard to beat some of the classics. There's just something about the nostalgia of throwing those old plastic Duncans and Yomegas that's just good for my soul. I really love the old Playmaxx style cork brake pads too, there's just something about the way that those cork pads play that's really hard to beat. I especially like them in the Playmaxx "Profire", not the Duncan made/rebrand ones but the originals from Playmaxx (which are crazy expensive now actually, all of the Playmaxx stuff is pretty collectible these days). The whole bronze shuttle sleeve and transaxle concept used for the Profire was just a really cool and unique idea to me. I've been messing around with some designs of my own based on that concept that are a bit more refined and some even incorporate different types of bearings. Definitely over-engineered and unnecessary, but just a fun little project to work on and play with. I recently got my 14 - 15 year old second cousin into yoing here recently when he and his sister came to stay with us for a week for their annual visit. I wish I would have introduced him to it sooner, but I didn't really think of it until last year right after they left so I've been looking forward to showing him all year. At first I wasn't really sure he'd be into it, but I guess he ended up taking to it like a fat kid to cake. I showed him the basics one night and he was really bad it for the first couple hours, but I gave him a few different yoyos that I had doubles and triples of to get him started, plus some extra strings and some axle lube. The following evening you'd think he'd been throwing for a couple months! Apparently he went up to his room and practiced well into the wee hours of the morning and continued to do so throughout the following day. The kid was even getting a blister on his finger from the string! I guess he really likes it and wanted to start doing some tricks! I was just absolutely over the freakin' moon with excitement. I showed him some simple string tricks and some other basics (breakaway, around the world, single loops; you know the drill) and he was saying he hopes to be able to rival me when he comes back up next year. I told him to master all the basic tricks we discussed and I made him a list with a little practice regimen. I told him to learn 3 to 5 new tricks on his own to have down like second nature by the time he comes back to visit again. At any rate, it was just really awesome to be able to share the hobby with him and pass it on to the next generation like that. I don't have any children of my own and I'm an only child, so a I truly cherish any opportunity to share this type of stuff with the next generation; especially when it's something that brought me so much joy when I was young.
what people don't realize is that RoboSapien is still very much around, he just got seriously upgraded went he was bought by Boston Dynamics and renamed Atlas, his dancing skills have seriously improved, so proud of him
Interesting. When I was just watching a couple of Atlas videos, I couldn't help but remember how close in design it was to RoboSapiens that were around in 2005.
I don't recommend it. Unless they made an updated and improved version, the Roboraptor I had as a kid could barely walk. It mostly just shuffled in place. But, hey, maybe you'll get lucky and get one that actually works. Have fun!
I remember in first grade I met a kid who brought his Robo Raptor to the after-school club we went to. I talked to him in the first place because I thought the raptor was cool (and it still is) and wanted to play with it. We kept hanging out through elementary school and are still close friends today Had it not been for Robo Raptor, I probably wouldn't have met one of my bestest friends
1) roboquad really shows the "this was made by a NASA engineer" aspect. i could see that thing being used to like, explore the moon or something. or taking over the earth. seriously it looks like something straight out of horizon zero dawn. 2) you gave it awareness, and the first thing it did was try and jump off the table. telling.
I mean the minute he turned it on it got offended by being put back on the table, looked around and almost realized it was being filmed so my guess... it was camera shy and wanted no part of the video lol It actually kinda reminds me of WALL-E with its mannerisms.
I remember getting the robo raptor one christmas we where walking to my nans house about 2 miles away and it took us like 3 hours as I had to make the robot walk the whole way
The big heavy battery cells still being in the feet of the Blue version is probably equal parts cheapness and keeping the center of mass low to help balance while walking... er, aggressively waddling.
Also, after having multiple cellphones and a PSP have batteries ruined, I currently don't trust rechargable lithium ions that can't be easily replaced...
I feel this so much dude. I sometimes regret giving away/selling some of my toys or books but I like to imagine some other kid got to make lots of memories with them like in Toy Story 3 lol. Luckily I kept a small selection of toys that meant a lot to me
@@risottopose9970 i had a Robo-raptor rescue as a kid, he could barely walk, and would surely die without love and attention, thanks to me though, i did fucking nothing because i didnt know how to fix a toy robot.
Man I remember having a mini RoboRaptor which was smaller and didn’t have the “it acts like a pet” function. Once the batteries died, I started using it like a normal toy and I had more fun with it that way.
I remember getting 3 McDonald's Roboraptors that I played with alongside my own Roboraptor (which I think was bought secondhand), essentially had a mom and her 3 kids. Also had a Roboreptile from the same line
I had the mcdonalds toys and a sticker book. I love stickers so it wasnt so bad, but I remember always looking at it and being sad cuz I wanted one so bad. I went to a rich friend's house and he had one, as well as some Cube Worlds and UB Funkeys.
I mean even at 5 you would know better right? I remember being 6, damn that's kind of weird, my sister is 4 so she will be able to play video games with me in a year or to. Im 17
My parents never bought me any of these toys when i wanted them cause they were too expensive but this remind some of a dream i had when i was five where i drove an RC car into a volcano i was sitting next to for some reason and then woke up crying cause i thought i drove an RC car into the volcano. i had alot of nightmares about volcanoes for no reason as a kid, i live nowhere near any and ive never even seen one in person.
I really loved the startup sequence, how it stretched and yawned, and did a little bit of swaying. Probably one of my favorite parts about it when I was a kid
At least they figured out how to make the Mc Donalds Robosapien to actually walk like the full-sized version. That's just impressive, especially on such a small scale.
@@The_One_Time I miss the days when kids meal toys didn't suck. Okay they were never great, but they are really cheaping out lately. What happened to cool ones like that Ron Stoppable one where when you shot the grappling hook, his shorts came off? It was just a cheap 5 minute novelty, but it was still creative design.
The moment that quad-thing started acting up my brain just became infatuated with it. I have never felt such childish attachment to anything inanimate before o.0 I want to reach out through the screen and pet that thing so badly-
@@BassLineProductionsI Im not entirely sure, ive never found such a feature. after some digging I did find a commercial for them. its in french unfortunately. ua-cam.com/video/oO7aG-vnoR8/v-deo.html&ab_channel=CalvinJacks
Had a Roboraptor to! Dad got it for me for Christmas! I love that robot! Unfortunately the only places that did not have carpet in our house where the kitchen, the bathroom and the laundry room so a lot of times when I played with it I had to play with in the kitchen because he couldn't move that well on the carpet.
These are certifiably "Rich Kid Toys." These are the kind of toys that tell a kid's friends "My parents made more profitable life decisions than your parents."
Or that they want to spend money for their kids. My parents are total cheapskates. I remember that my siblings and I all begged for all of these babies at different times when each of them came out, and our parents would always come up with excuses. "It's too expensive, and you'll probably get bored of it soon." "That thing would scare the pets." "We don't have enough room in the house for it to move around." Ridiculous indeed.
I found one of the raptors in a thrift shop when i was a kid. Unopened but it was being resold for $45. I busted my ass for a week doing chores to buy it. I got the money and RAN to that store. Some one else bought it...
tragic backstory time: when i was taken from my parents a month from my 6th birthday on the day of my actual birthday i was given the raptor and was told it was from them. i was a little girl lol. even when no one was there to change the batteries i would treat it like my baby dolls etc. i didnt even care about the sensors or AI lol. the remote got lost fast. watching this made me kinda emotional aaaa
I thought my Robosapien was alive when I was younger so I locked it in a storage closet out of fear. It's still there to this day. No idea where the remote went tho.
These robots were My damn childhood. I'd wreak havoc on My home with the combined forces of Roboraptor, Roboquad, and Robosapien. Update: The nostalgia was too strong, located My old robots...They shall rise again.
When I was in primary school, a few of of us were invited to take part in a competition run by IBM where schools would compete in their abilities on programming a Robosapien V2 with a computer program and a USB IR blaster. There was a dance routine, a presentation and "programming under pressure" where we didn't find out the challenge until the day and only had an hour or two to put it all together. My school came second or third, I think, and we won a Robosapien V2 for the school. We named it Bob.
When I was a kid every kid's house I would go to had one of the humanoid ones of these. Never have I ever known what it was called and have not thought about this in years...
I had that alive white and black tiger when I was younger! :) I remember that the leg snapped fairly quickly and I used to carry it around with its leg wrapped in a blanket like a sling..what a good memory
I actually remember these and seriously wanting one as a kid. But never actually getting one because I was a poor kid lol Still amusing to see now days... fills me with a bit of nostalgia
You and I were born 6 months apart Billiam. I have no memory of Robosapien. But RoboRaptor still appears in my dreams to this day. That's not hyperbole Roboraptor literally pops up in dreams from time to time. It was the coolest toy ever made.
0:12 wanna know furbies are so creepy? imagine a herbivore, they have many defense mechanisms against predators, one of them being their eyes are on the side of their face so they have a wider field of vision, but predators need to focus their vision on one target, solution? have eyes on the front of your face, and furbies have eyes on the front of thier face, furbies hunt for food, what do they hunt? and that was when i burned all of mine.
That's not entirely true. Any animal that needs to use depth perception needs front eyes. Take the antelope for example. They aren't quite as forward as say a dogs, but their eyes are fairly forward facing. The eyes on a furby merely show it lives in a very flat place against fast moving targets, either predator or prey
sorry to revive a dead thread but when I look at a furby the face seems more avian. Specifically like a penguin due to the face in conjunction with body shape. However due to the shape of its beak we can infer that it eats seeds not fish. To be precise it would eat grains. If I were to hypothesize a potential evolutionary journey that led to the furby it would have to be a species that evolved in an extremely isolated habitat. Within this habitat a prominent species of plant had large but not hard seeds which the furby was highly specialized to eat. Given that a furby has fur it most likely wasn’t a flightless bird but rather the formation of the beak was an example of convergent evolution. Fur is a defining trait of mammals, having fur and a beak is only present in monotremes. However, it is difficult to say wether the furby is a monotreme or something else entirely. Then through the process of domestication the furby acquired softer and more superfluous fur, larger eyes, shorter beak, and stunted body size.
My brother got a Robosapien for Christmas, the most memorable thing that happened was that we found it two years later on a shelf with the worst battery leak I have ever seen
I recently found my robosapien V2 in a bin where it had been the past few years. Upon lifting it up, it's hand snapped right off because the plastic had become brittle in the dry air.
I remember having the original Robosapien, and getting my thumb sliced open by the packaging. It was a nightmare to open, and I think I initiated some form of blood pact
I had one of these when I was a kid. My dad was never around so he got me one of these along with a nintendo DS. This thing was amazing, and the song it played when it danced was a BOP.
My brother had that Roboraptor. It was awesome, we kept it for a long time. Even after we lost the controller it was still cool to interact with. Tbh though, half the time we would play with it like a normal non robotic toy lol
I had a roboraptor when I was younger. But My younger cousin accidentally walked it down the stairs when I was distracted. Luckily it survived but was damaged. I kept it for a few years. Eventually I gave it away to some orphaned kids at an orphanage. The same orphanage I was adopted from.
The roboquad looking at him when he stopped it from falling off the table all like “hey what gives!?” was kinda adorable I’m not gonna lie. It reminds me of a pet WALL-E. it’s just inexplicably cute. 10:00 “Whoa hey what gives! Huh? Wait whats going on!? SCANNING... wait are you filming!? Uuuuh...” 10:50 “I don’t wanna be up here- *gets put back on the table* Wait, *looks up at bill* seriously, human?”
I got this toy when it first came out in 2013, at first me and my brother loved it, we'd get home from school and be all alone cause our parents were working so We played with ti all the time and had a blast making it walk and dance. Then one day when we got home from school, it was not where we left it, and instead was in the living room with its arms up. At first, we thought nothing of it but thought it was strange that it moved by itself. We continued to play with but it started acting strangely and doing things without us telling it to. It would lift its arms or say "oo, ow". Eventually, we lost the remote for it, just couldn't find it anymore, the only thing we could do was turn it on and off, which was still fun for a 10-year-old me, but no lifting arms, no walking, only wake up and turn off. So soon we lost interest and i got a guinea pig for Christmas, a new obsession that i loved, i named him Pablo and so we stopped playing with it as it collected dust in my closet. Until one night, I was woken up by a sound playing in my bedroom, a sound i once loved, it was the dancing sound and when i woke up and looked, i saw the robot dancing and playing the "dun dundun dundudndun" song in the middle of my room. there's no way it could've done that by itself but it did, everyone else was sleeping and the remote was still lost. but there he was dancing in my room after being untouched for weeks. i shut him off and put him back in the closet, not knowing how what i just saw happened. the next morning i woke to him missing, not in the closet where i left him. i went to school and tried to forget about but i kept feeling an overwhelming sense of dread when i thought about him, and i had an awful feeling that it did something terrible. when me and my brother got home we found pablos cage door opened and no pablo inside. we were very worried and started searching for him when we heard the same dancing song playing from the bathroom, "dun dundun dundudndun". we crept in and saw pablo dead on the floor in a pool of blood, and the Robosapien standing over him dancing, holding a kitchen knife. Robosapien killed my guinea pig. after that we sold the toys to some family and little boy, and have forgotten about him until saw a youtube video pop up in my recommended randomly. the thought can't escape my head now and i wanted to relay the message to ANYONE thinking about buying one. good luck.
Man I feel so bad for my parent when imagening how much all my toys would've costed them. Probably 3500-4500 dollars. Insane. I can barely even pay my own rent
Typically toys like that cost around $90-$100. Still pricey for the average consumer but the only kids toy that would hit the $3,500 range would be maybe a fancy outdoor jungle gym/playset.
This unlocked a bunch of wonderful memories. My Roboraptor had a split personality. When I’m playing alone, he was a monster that knocked over my train sets, ate my army men, and destroyed Lego buildings. It was amazing. When I was playing with my sister, he was lost and scared, and Barbie’s new pet. Also amazing.
My Robosapien still alive and he’s 17 years old. Retro toys and gaming technology for some reason lives longer than today’s devices. Roboraptor stills also alive.
My roboraptor died ☹️
My robo sapian is still kicking too

1) roboquad really shows the "this was made by a NASA engineer" aspect. i could see that thing being used to like, explore the moon or something. or taking over the earth. seriously it looks like something straight out of horizon zero dawn.
2) you gave it awareness, and the first thing it did was try and jump off the table. telling.
I mean the minute he turned it on it got offended by being put back on the table, looked around and almost realized it was being filmed so my guess... it was camera shy and wanted no part of the video lol
It actually kinda reminds me of WALL-E with its mannerisms.
Like that security robot that was given artificial intelligence and immediately chose to drown itself in a nearby fountain.

I remember getting the robo raptor one christmas we where walking to my nans house about 2 miles away and it took us like 3 hours as I had to make the robot walk the whole way
Lmfao props to your parents for putting up with it. I too got a roboraptor for Christmas and I made it fuck up my gran's curtains
Roboquad: *gets turned on*
Also Roboquad: *attempts suicide immediately after being turned on*
wouldn't you if you looked like that?

Roboquad: what is my purpose
Billiam: you're random entertainment in my youtube video
Roboquad: oh god....*tries to dive off the table*
Existance is pain
My ex tried the same thing
The raptor toy would be in everyone’s house but I’ve never seen one that had batteries
Mine didn't even have legs haha!
I still have my robo raptor in my room but I’m 13
so true
I’ve still got mine at 20 but I lost the controller
Truest thing i have heard in a long time
I’ll never forget these things
these two robots were MUST have as a kid. 2000s was an incredible decade for the toy industry
The big heavy battery cells still being in the feet of the Blue version is probably equal parts cheapness and keeping the center of mass low to help balance while walking... er, aggressively waddling.
Also, after having multiple cellphones and a PSP have batteries ruined, I currently don't trust rechargable lithium ions that can't be easily replaced...
This makes me miss my roboraptor. Sometimes I regret giving her away, but I hope some other kid got as much enjoyment out of her as I did
I feel this so much dude. I sometimes regret giving away/selling some of my toys or books but I like to imagine some other kid got to make lots of memories with them like in Toy Story 3 lol.
Luckily I kept a small selection of toys that meant a lot to me
I still have the Robosapien. I'm fairly sure it's arm or hand broke off however.
It saddens me how many stray Roboraptors and Robosapiens go without a home
@@risottopose9970 i had a Robo-raptor rescue as a kid, he could barely walk, and would surely die without love and attention, thanks to me though, i did fucking nothing because i didnt know how to fix a toy robot.
Billiams extreme mix of genuine terror and adoration for Roboquad is amazing
Man I remember having a mini RoboRaptor which was smaller and didn’t have the “it acts like a pet” function.
Once the batteries died, I started using it like a normal toy and I had more fun with it that way.
100% the exact same experience as I had
Same
Same
I have the normal version but I want a small version as well
Same but with the Robosapien and all it did was try to walk but it never stayed upright. I basically had an overpriced cheap drunk robot toy.
I'm going to be honest I mostly remember Robosapien for the mcdonalds tie in it had , anyone else ?
I was trying to find out where I'd seen it!
You brought back memories i never knew i had
I had that and it's the cheapest way to get one back then XD
I remember getting 3 McDonald's Roboraptors that I played with alongside my own Roboraptor (which I think was bought secondhand), essentially had a mom and her 3 kids.
Also had a Roboreptile from the same line
I had the mcdonalds toys and a sticker book. I love stickers so it wasnt so bad, but I remember always looking at it and being sad cuz I wanted one so bad. I went to a rich friend's house and he had one, as well as some Cube Worlds and UB Funkeys.

My parents never bought me any of these toys when i wanted them cause they were too expensive but this remind some of a dream i had when i was five where i drove an RC car into a volcano i was sitting next to for some reason and then woke up crying cause i thought i drove an RC car into the volcano. i had alot of nightmares about volcanoes for no reason as a kid, i live nowhere near any and ive never even seen one in person.

I really loved the startup sequence, how it stretched and yawned, and did a little bit of swaying. Probably one of my favorite parts about it when I was a kid
He burps AND farts?! Damn they must have taught the AI with Adam Sandler films
If they did that, it would just try to hit crotches most of the time
When I was a kid I once thought Robocop was a real-life Robosapien, for some reason.
That would be so damn cool :0

I mean he's part robot, part homo sapien so you aren't wrong
Robosapien screaming soon as you turned him on 😂😂😂 “eryaaaaaghhh”
The only ones i got where the McDonald's ones... The comparison is just sad.
You're not the only one.
Yo I still have mine! Lmao
At least they figured out how to make the Mc Donalds Robosapien to actually walk like the full-sized version. That's just impressive, especially on such a small scale.
@@The_One_Time I miss the days when kids meal toys didn't suck. Okay they were never great, but they are really cheaping out lately. What happened to cool ones like that Ron Stoppable one where when you shot the grappling hook, his shorts came off? It was just a cheap 5 minute novelty, but it was still creative design.
Bro, I had McDonald's hot wheels and McDonald's Bionicles. How sad is that?
If Billiam dies, first suspect is that little quadruped thing.
It’ll be working in tandem with Robo-Baby
Cheap ver of Nao
Roboraptor is innocent roboraptor is like a child to him
Y'all be forgetting that Robosapien attempted to stab him
Going back and watching these older videos has led me to conclude that this is one of the best billiam episodes ever
So wait, you have a Roboraptor and you didn't even make a "clever girl" reference?
He was too enamored by it's good looks to say that
Jesus, someone must replace the sounds of these quad things with the defective turret sounds from portal 2
Omggg yes
Omg I need that
The moment that quad-thing started acting up my brain just became infatuated with it. I have never felt such childish attachment to anything inanimate before o.0
I want to reach out through the screen and pet that thing so badly-
its a pity no one talks about bio bugs anymore.
seeing those things crawl around my house without getting stuck was so cool to watch when I was a kid.
Did those have the commercial where it crawls out of a bowl of popcorn? They had a hide or surprise setting if I remember correctly

*MARGE, I REQUIRE THE DUFF*
I just found this channel today and now I've spent hours binge watching it ALL I love this style so much
it hurts to see someone else living out your childhood dreams :(
These were ahead of their time tbh. I recall having Roboraptor at one point but I was too young to truly enjoy it.
Same also my parents were tired of having to keep buying batteries for it. It used them up like water
Had a Roboraptor to! Dad got it for me for Christmas! I love that robot! Unfortunately the only places that did not have carpet in our house where the kitchen, the bathroom and the laundry room so a lot of times when I played with it I had to play with in the kitchen because he couldn't move that well on the carpet.
dang, seeing both of these toys again fill me with so much nostalgia, good times man :, )
Roboquad looks like he would be your sidekick in a Spy Kids movie.
I can never unsee that ever again
I had one. My friends would tape spygear toys to it. So your not far off.
Roboquad scares the shit out of me

These are certifiably "Rich Kid Toys." These are the kind of toys that tell a kid's friends "My parents made more profitable life decisions than your parents."
Or that they want to spend money for their kids. My parents are total cheapskates. I remember that my siblings and I all begged for all of these babies at different times when each of them came out, and our parents would always come up with excuses. "It's too expensive, and you'll probably get bored of it soon." "That thing would scare the pets." "We don't have enough room in the house for it to move around." Ridiculous indeed.
I found one of the raptors in a thrift shop when i was a kid. Unopened but it was being resold for $45. I busted my ass for a week doing chores to buy it. I got the money and RAN to that store. Some one else bought it...
My dad bought one of the roboraptors for me one Christmas but to be honest he probably bought for himself he always loved rc toys
My parents weren’t rich but I got one.
I bought only when it was half price the original RRP... definitely worthed at 50% off...
My robosapien still alive and working many many years after. Nostalgia just hit me like a truck at 4 am :')
tragic backstory time: when i was taken from my parents a month from my 6th birthday on the day of my actual birthday i was given the raptor and was told it was from them. i was a little girl lol. even when no one was there to change the batteries i would treat it like my baby dolls etc. i didnt even care about the sensors or AI lol. the remote got lost fast. watching this made me kinda emotional aaaa
Awww...
Dude that sucks
So many questions, Why were you taken? Did you ever see your parents again? Do you still have the raptor? To name but a few.
@@Phoenixash-delfuego none ya business
@@GnosticOrthodoxChurch A UA-cam comment is none of my business, ok Soy boy.
I'm living vicariously through this man right now.
I thought my Robosapien was alive when I was younger so I locked it in a storage closet out of fear. It's still there to this day. No idea where the remote went tho.
He controls himself
The quad one gave me strong WALL-E vibes.

These robots were My damn childhood. I'd wreak havoc on My home with the combined forces of Roboraptor, Roboquad, and Robosapien.

Yes, will you be able to show us the rise of the robot army?
When I was in primary school, a few of of us were invited to take part in a competition run by IBM where schools would compete in their abilities on programming a Robosapien V2 with a computer program and a USB IR blaster. There was a dance routine, a presentation and "programming under pressure" where we didn't find out the challenge until the day and only had an hour or two to put it all together.
My school came second or third, I think, and we won a Robosapien V2 for the school. We named it Bob.
Fuckin' awesome, I wish we had something like in school.
I like how Rpbosapien's "attitude" is just making loud noises
When I was a kid every kid's house I would go to had one of the humanoid ones of these. Never have I ever known what it was called and have not thought about this in years...

Couldn't agree more, Old chap!
I was part of the team that designed them a while back, so I'm thrilled to see how much you're enjoying playing them!
I had that alive white and black tiger when I was younger! :) I remember that the leg snapped fairly quickly and I used to carry it around with its leg wrapped in a blanket like a sling..what a good memory
I actually remember these and seriously wanting one as a kid. But never actually getting one because I was a poor kid lol
Still amusing to see now days... fills me with a bit of nostalgia
You and I were born 6 months apart Billiam. I have no memory of Robosapien. But RoboRaptor still appears in my dreams to this day. That's not hyperbole Roboraptor literally pops up in dreams from time to time. It was the coolest toy ever made.
0:12 wanna know furbies are so creepy? imagine a herbivore, they have many defense mechanisms against predators, one of them being their eyes are on the side of their face so they have a wider field of vision, but predators need to focus their vision on one target, solution? have eyes on the front of your face, and furbies have eyes on the front of thier face, furbies hunt for food, what do they hunt?
and that was when i burned all of mine.
That's not entirely true. Any animal that needs to use depth perception needs front eyes. Take the antelope for example. They aren't quite as forward as say a dogs, but their eyes are fairly forward facing. The eyes on a furby merely show it lives in a very flat place against fast moving targets, either predator or prey
@@kylefreeburg9353 thx for knowledge.
sorry to revive a dead thread but when I look at a furby the face seems more avian. Specifically like a penguin due to the face in conjunction with body shape. However due to the shape of its beak we can infer that it eats seeds not fish. To be precise it would eat grains.
If I were to hypothesize a potential evolutionary journey that led to the furby it would have to be a species that evolved in an extremely isolated habitat. Within this habitat a prominent species of plant had large but not hard seeds which the furby was highly specialized to eat. Given that a furby has fur it most likely wasn’t a flightless bird but rather the formation of the beak was an example of convergent evolution. Fur is a defining trait of mammals, having fur and a beak is only present in monotremes. However, it is difficult to say wether the furby is a monotreme or something else entirely. Then through the process of domestication the furby acquired softer and more superfluous fur, larger eyes, shorter beak, and stunted body size.
You’re all weirdos. Furbies taste delicious, that’s all that matters.

My brother got a Robosapien for Christmas, the most memorable thing that happened was that we found it two years later on a shelf with the worst battery leak I have ever seen
I recently found my robosapien V2 in a bin where it had been the past few years. Upon lifting it up, it's hand snapped right off because the plastic had become brittle in the dry air.

I laughed every time Roboquad looked at the camera. It looks so confused.
I’ve been quoting robosapien’s “uh-huh” nonstop for the last week. Good to see someone else remembers
yeah
The reactions to him trying to open it and the interactions he had with it are so pure
I had a roboraptor when I was younger. But My younger cousin accidentally walked it down the stairs when I was distracted. Luckily it survived but was damaged. I kept it for a few years.
Eventually I gave it away to some orphaned kids at an orphanage. The same orphanage I was adopted from.

alpha yun then it just looks around like “wait- shit I’m a toy I don’t have turrets!”
I got this toy when it first came out in 2013, at first me and my brother loved it, we'd get home from school and be all alone cause our parents were working so We played with ti all the time and had a blast making it walk and dance. Then one day when we got home from school, it was not where we left it, and instead was in the living room with its arms up. At first, we thought nothing of it but thought it was strange that it moved by itself. We continued to play with but it started acting strangely and doing things without us telling it to. It would lift its arms or say "oo, ow". Eventually, we lost the remote for it, just couldn't find it anymore, the only thing we could do was turn it on and off, which was still fun for a 10-year-old me, but no lifting arms, no walking, only wake up and turn off. So soon we lost interest and i got a guinea pig for Christmas, a new obsession that i loved, i named him Pablo and so we stopped playing with it as it collected dust in my closet. Until one night, I was woken up by a sound playing in my bedroom, a sound i once loved, it was the dancing sound and when i woke up and looked, i saw the robot dancing and playing the "dun dundun dundudndun" song in the middle of my room. there's no way it could've done that by itself but it did, everyone else was sleeping and the remote was still lost. but there he was dancing in my room after being untouched for weeks. i shut him off and put him back in the closet, not knowing how what i just saw happened. the next morning i woke to him missing, not in the closet where i left him. i went to school and tried to forget about but i kept feeling an overwhelming sense of dread when i thought about him, and i had an awful feeling that it did something terrible. when me and my brother got home we found pablos cage door opened and no pablo inside. we were very worried and started searching for him when we heard the same dancing song playing from the bathroom, "dun dundun dundudndun". we crept in and saw pablo dead on the floor in a pool of blood, and the Robosapien standing over him dancing, holding a kitchen knife. Robosapien killed my guinea pig. after that we sold the toys to some family and little boy, and have forgotten about him until saw a youtube video pop up in my recommended randomly. the thought can't escape my head now and i wanted to relay the message to ANYONE thinking about buying one. good luck.
Roboraptor was pretty neat. I still have one and even though I haven't actually used it it doubles as nostalgic decoration
I remember how long it took to open the robo sapien box, im glad to see I wasn't the only one that got frustrated
Man I feel so bad for my parent when imagening how much all my toys would've costed them. Probably 3500-4500 dollars. Insane. I can barely even pay my own rent
Typically toys like that cost around $90-$100.
Still pricey for the average consumer but the only kids toy that would hit the $3,500 range would be maybe a fancy outdoor jungle gym/playset.
@@Randomtwixy he said all of his toys not 1 toy
I loved to just put raptor in roam. Around the house. He was like a dog for me. Still love him❤️❤️
Me when seeing Robosapien:
A Walking Disaster, The son of all bastards, you regret you made me, it’s too late to save me
This unlocked a bunch of wonderful memories. My Roboraptor had a split personality. When I’m playing alone, he was a monster that knocked over my train sets, ate my army men, and destroyed Lego buildings. It was amazing. When I was playing with my sister, he was lost and scared, and Barbie’s new pet. Also amazing.
the discovery kids cartoons would be neat, like tutinstien, grossology, and time warp trio
Time Warp Trio is a seriously underrated cartoon
