While WowWee's dancing Roboboa robot has already made its way into a few select parts of the world, those in the US have so far had a considerable harder time getting their hands on one. That looks to have now changed in a big way, however, as the so-called "alien with attitude" is now available directly from WowWee for an even $100. As WowWee is quick to point out, the bot can do more than just dance (although surely that would have been enough), with it also able to double as a desk lamp, an alarm clock, and even a "scanning room guard." Just don't let it get near your modded Robosapien, unless you want things to get ugly.

Excellent article and comments about the Roboboa.

No it's not our new snake overlord, and no it will not play doom.
Still it's a cool toy though.
No, its a dancing, scanning room guard overload. I, for one, welcome it.
I, for one, welcome our dancing, scanning room guard -overlords- and would like to point out that your humble servant was carefully subservient and accurate in his spelling of "overlord", asking that in return when your glorious robotic reign begins, you make all other posters my bitches, in your mercy.

looks like that thing from war of the worlds
I think the title of this post should have "Keeps you single" in it
Are there really that many readers of engadget that care about every toy Wowwee makes? I love 98% of the things you cover, but I just can't imagine that many people follow this. Perpetual motion bafoonery = good. Toy (nonkillbots, not useful, not japanese) robots = eh. Just my 2 cents. Maybe I'm way off.
I think we need 50% less Wowee, 40% more Pleo. Then Engadget would kick ass.
Maybe I should have been more clear. I mean all toy robots. Roomba at least has a useful function. Pleo included in my comment
whew. for a while i thought i was going to actually have to have a doctor do that prostate exam.
War of the Worlds?
i'm glad someone else noticed it
lets take it inside you asshole and make some notes
The appropriate size for a Apple fanboy colonoscopy.
