Thanks to PC Magazine's Lance Ulanoff for this story!

WowWee's robots are innovative, entertaining, and now, apparently, really pissed off. I spent the weekend with the company's latest creation, the $120 Roboreptile, and for the most part came away impressed and—to be honest—a little frightened. I mean, this little guy is always moving and hungry, almost always agitated, and leaves little room for casual interaction.

I should post video of me trying to put his plastic, calm-down cowl over his head. It's supposed to cover his sensors and transition the robot into a calmer, more manageable state. But, oh boy, it was hard to get it on and keep it on.

It's enough to shake my blind adoration of robots. I think I need to start reading How to Survive a Robot Uprising."

Tune into this week's Gearlog Radio show (available on Friday) to hear Lance talk about the angry bot.
