He can even respond to gestures when he is set in that mode which is indicated by the blue LED on his chest, the amassing thing is it’s always balancing itself due to the design of its wheels.

Roaming Mode

In roaming mode which is yellow LED the MIP robot will roam about exploring and should he encounter an obstacle he will respond by moving out of the way or changing directions which is pretty neat, he also turns quite early if an obstacle is detected by the built-in sensors.

Dance Mode

This mode is indicated by the Green LED is easy to identify as the LED will blink on its chest and MIP will start playing a funky disco beat and move forwards and backwards in a dancing motion, you can’t resist the urge to bop your head to this. He both balances and does the dance moves in perfect sync and throws in a few cool 360 degree turns. You can also load your own custom music for him to dance to when you use the app on your smartphone which is very nice for customizing the experience.

Cage Mode

This is sort of a playful mode where you create a cage using your hands or obstacles and the Wowwee MIP robot will try to find a way out much like a maze. He will gradually increase is speed and you will have to adjust which is really fun feature as far as interactivity goes.

Custom Gestures

You can even program in your own personal gestures that you want the MIP to respond to, he can take up to 50 custom gestures for him to respond to or even to carry stuff to people which is a very nice feature you could get really creative with.

Accessories

He even comes with an attachable tray that you can pin to the MIP from the chest and add stuff and he will still be able to balance even with the extra weight. This is like a juggling act as you add stuff he will adjust and account for the weight. He can even balance large cylindrical object of a descent weight which is quite impressive for a small robot of this size.

The App

The App can be installed on your smartphone although MIP the robot will do quite fine without it but you do get a more fine tuned experience using the Application. You can draw a path for him to follow, trigger the modes indicated above with a single tap such as drive, dance, battle and more.

The really cool features come out with the App as you can drive and really be in control, response time and speed are really good. You can also use the cans mode for MIP to convey different emotions that you are aiming for such as Happy, sad and so on. This is very fun mode as he will have cool reactions for each mood you put him in, some of which are quite funny.

The battle mode is interesting as you can pit a few MIPs against each other if you have more than one , the last one standing is the victor which is something fun for the kids to do with their friends who has one as well. There is also a Boxing which requires an extra robot so that they can duke it out with you being able to control the jabs from the App,stack mode allows you to pack as much things as you can on MIP’s tray before a set time after which he will spin around toppling everything over and path mode allows you to draw a path and MIP will follow.
