My 9yr old son used his own savings to buy this "expensive" toy but all the instructions are in Japanese. The robot moves for less than 1 min even when it's been charged overnight. Not sure if the product is faulty but I can't find product support anywhere. Totally won't recommend it to any kid. The product is really disappointing.

Going micro just might discourage the makers of Bee Robot. That company took the Guinness World Record away from Tomy's i-Sobot. I think the Bee Robot stands at about 6 inches where i-Sobot is 6.5. The funny thing is the Robo Q and the Bee Robot move alike. For Bee Robot to come in smaller than i-Sobot they had to get rid of the knee joints. So Bee Robot is uglier than Robo-Q and moves penguin. We here in the United States are impressed when a robot can lift its leg off the ground and balance. I-Sobot fits that role and has such a lovely price at about one hundred dollars.
