Toy, Gadget and Product Reviews by Dad Does
We got to play with the Star Wars First Order Stromtrooper by Ubtech at Toy Fair 2018 and we were impressed. This came out in Dec 2017, but in May they are pushing a big software update, so this robot will get even more intelligent.

So cute I want one.
Does the camera streaming and patrol function work over Wifi? if so this could be a neat camera drone to see into my home while at work
Looks fun
Isn't he a little short?
£300 quid for this? It walks like it's crapped itself. Go buy a Cozmo, you'll have a lot more fun for about a £100 quid less.
What the name for is toys
App crashes when I try other functions. It only works on sentry mode.
4:30 min of a guy playing with an app and an iPad??? What does this toy actually do or why would I want to pay 299? it seems that the only fun part of this toy is to play with an iPad as lots of allegedly features seem to only exist/work virtually and not in real time.
