Description

These life-sized robots are remote-controlled, battery-powered units that ride a tricycle or drive a car, jeep, tractor, fire truck, etc.. They talk & hear via wireless microphone system and have automatic mouth movement in sync with the sound. Their heads can also be turned by remote-control.

They can be equipped with various optional accessories such as a voice modifier, a remote-controlled horn or siren, cassette player, water squirter, flashing lights, strobe lights and more! An array of readily changeable custom animal-like, or human costumes are available, or you can design a custom character.

Exciting, new option -- the "Detachable heart" -- enables you to remove the character from the vehicle, set it on a teachers desk, counter, table or your lap, and operate it like talking sign. When done with your presentation, simply put the character back in the vehicle and it drives away via remote control.

Mobile robots are extremely effective in situations where you want to 'stop traffic'. They make a lasting impression at trade shows, parades, school's anti-drug safety programs, carnivals, etc.. These highly mobile robots can get anyone's attention by driving up to them (or chasing them down) and starting an interactive conversation.

microphone that allows the operator to speak through the character. The character's
mouth movement is automatically synchronized with the operator's voice.

and receiver and headset worn by the operator enables the operator to hear what people
are saying to the robot.

Battery/Charger: 7 AMP battery for tricycles, 22-33 AMP for vehicles. Each with

Options:

Choose Character: Hairy is the standard character.

many human or animal character costumes as you would like.

Custom paint with decals: Customize your vehicle to match law enforcement or
company fleets.

Detachable Heart: Allows the character to be removed from the vehicle and
perform independently. Set the character on a table or counter and continue to
talk, rotate the head, or even play the cassette.

on mobile robots. Use any standard cassette to play music or pre-recorded
messages.

monster, or normal by simply changing a four position switch.  This is a belt-pack system.

controlled siren or back-up alarm, or a combination of these attention-getting
noisemakers.

Lights: Mobile vehicles can be equipped with remotely controlled special lights such
as rotating beacons, strobes and flashers.

Additional batteries/chargers: Battery size varies depending on the robot. All robots
should operate six hours per battery. Allow 12 hours to re-charge batteries.

Traveling cases: Rugged cases for safe transport and storage of valuable robots. Made
from wood, lined with vinyl and carpet, with steel corners.

Testimonial

ABC seamless siding of Billings, Montana had their mascot "The Duck" replicated and put on a heavy duty tricycle robot, which they purchased in September, 1999.

"We have tripled our leads at trade shows!"
Larry and Rhonda Grayson

Sheriff Marr purchased his robot with three different interchangeable characters.  He is using “Hairy” for the younger children, “Edgar” Eagle for the older children and he saves the “deputy” for events like the county fair.  They also have the car custom painted and detailed to match the real Indiana Sheriff cars.

Howard County  found an unusual benefit with the robot apart from public education: A 5-year-old girl who had been domestically abused did not want to talk with adults but she talked to the robot. 

"Watching the faces of kids, and adults, when they talk with Blazer and Fire Dog is magical.  Everyone treats him as if he is real, because he is.  Blazer can interact with people of all ages.  Everyone loves him.  With his truck, the lights, the sirens, the water hose, and the smoke detector Blazer is able to send a message of fire prevention and safety without being dull and preachy.

I cannot imagine doing our fire prevention program without Blazer.  He is always the star of the show."
