Where can I buy these skitterbots?
Best place in Canada is Robotshop.ca
will the skitter bot be compatible with the bluetooth controled like the tank bot?
tankbot is not bluetooth controlled. And once the tankbot is purchaed, with the dongle, all other desk pets products are controllable.
Can you use an iphone or ipad to run all these toys or is it only certain toys?
Once you have the iDeskPets dongle (sold with tankbot) …yes.
How do Skitterbots battle? Do they just run into each other?
They run into each other
Hello again admin, I recently bought the skitterbot and I love it. It is the neatest
little thing. The play time is decent and it’s very fast. I have been using it
to scare my Jack Russell Terrier; its scares the hell out of her…lol . I am
planning on getting one of each of your toys. I can't wait to get the tank bot,
which looks very cool. I am a little surprised that there isn't a black skitterbot.
Having it black will make it look like a scarab. When is the release date on
the tankbot, I want to mark my calendar. J
Tankbot is ready for retail sales in late July/early August. We didnt’ make a black shell because the infrared wouldn’t pass through as effectively and also it would look too dark in the packaging.
Is there a way to get replacement parts for the skitterbot. I was battling with
seven other people with their skitterbot and one of my back legs broke. Not the
leg itself but the small white gear inside the skitterbot that has that little
rod that holds the leg on it. The little rod that sticks up on the white gear
broke. I tried gluing it with plexus and super glue, but it doesn't stick
properly. Would like to fix it and get my skitterbot back in battling
Thanks for solving my problem; I have received the package today.
The customer service was very good to me; they have contacted me in a timely
manner and also addressed my problem in a timely manner. All and all, I give
everyone at the company, big thumbs up. I have my calendar marked when the tank
bot gets released…I can’t wait…lol
So…is there any way to win battles? Or is it just watching the skitterbots ram into each other over and over again until you get tired of watching them?
Ramming into each other is the best gauge of winning. In some cases the one the pushes the other off the table is usually the winner.
These look so cool I in a few days im going on vacation so im going to be able to buy one tankbot and skitterbot!
Great!
