WowWee shows off Roboquad, singing robotic Elvis head

So tonight we got our first chance to take a look at the Roboquad, the four-legged multi-articulating spiderbot that kind of reminds us of a dog crossbred with the ticks its carrying. Oh, we'd also like to extend a thanks to WowWee for keeping it (sur)real. We've been in Vegas just a few hours but we already feel like we're on a Hunter S. Thompson-esque drug binge resulting in our lovable robochimp bust transforming into a demented, singing Elvis replete with curling upper lip. Not only does it have an eight track Elvis songbook, it also sings along with you Karaoke-style. Yes, we've got a video coming up shortly, but check out the gallery for now.

Can you guys really question the WowWee folk about the programmability of the Elvis head; especially when it comes to controlling it with a PC? I'm dying to know. Please post an update if you do.

The Elvis-head looks scary. o.o It lacks facial expression. I mean, it's amazing regardless but really!

I for one welcome our Elvis impersonating robotic overlords.

Ladies and gentlemen, our overlords have left the building.
