i remember having this5
i remember getting this for x-mas 01 and it was newer (VERY newer)and it was so fun i loved it i wish i still had it

This Is A Remote Controlled Toy, That's All1
Please don't be fooled by this toy and it's description. There is nothing ( not a thing ) about this toy that is AI. It is simply a RC device, nothing more.

What with the recent attention, and popularity, of AI ( artificial intelligence ) robots, this toy tries to cash in on the craze.

Don't be misled. Unlike the truly AI dinosaur by Ugobe, Pleo, this puppy is simply a remote controlled toy. Yes, he barks and walks, etc - but not unless you press a button directing it to do so. That is NOT what AI is about.

The undisputed leader in AI robots for the consumer is Sony, with it's outstanding AIBO. Coming in at approximately two grand, when it was available, it truly represented what AI and good programming can bring... a robot which ages and has it's own personality based on your interaction with it. This Tekno pet, is a poor, poor substitute.

Second in the AI robotic market, is the Ugobe Pleo, and that also has some very good AI, and at approximately 300 dollars ( as of 2008 ), it's a big investment, but more than worth the price.

Do not waste your money on this toy, which is simply a remote controlled item. I own both an AIBO and a Pleo, and was looking for a lower end addition to my robot family of pets - what I got was a RC toy, NOT an AI robot.

Additionally, as a side note - the packaging of the Tekno is especially difficult to open. I understand the need for theft-proof packaging, but this went above and beyond what is necessary and quickly turned into a mess of plastic shards, cut wraps, screwdriver removed screws and cardboard.

waste of money1
For the first week, a few of the features worked. It did not do much of what the advertising claimed. Function declined rapidly, so we tried all new batteries. New batteries did not help. Within a month, it did nothing but make a small barking noise when you flipped the on switch. It was a complete disappointment.
