WowWee MiP Robot - Gold or Silver

WowWee is the worst company I’ve ever had the displeasure of dealing with.

In 2010 Woot sold a bot called the “Rovio” which was by far the biggest pile of carp ever made. The device was sold here WowWee Rovio and essentially worked for nobody. The device should never have made it beyond the testing phase and absolutely never should have been placed in a box to ship. Besides having absolute connectivity issues, the robot was unable to be charged due to the terrible design flaws that caused the battery to ignore the charger.

Many hacks were made to try and fix the issue but all fell flat on their face. WowWee was absolutely useless and many users got screwed out of $105 on this product.

I still have the piece of crap gathering dust under my bed.

12 pages of comments and no one walked away happy.

My rovio worked I did have to replace the battery. But the new one charged ok
