Orbitor Electronic Listening Device


Orbitor Electronic Listening Device




Orbitor Electronic Listening Device



This top of the line secret surveillance device is perfect for when you really need to know what's going on! Once you own the Orbitor you'll discover thousands of uses for it. The Orbitor's ears and eyes are powerful enough to capture distant sounds (and voices) from 300 feet away. Viewfinder with 10x prism optical system lets you zoom in and see what you're hearing close up. Sounds and images impossible for the human ears and eyes to pick up will now seem as if you're only a couple of feet away.

Imagine sitting in the upper deck of a pro baseball stadium and being able to hear and see players talking in the dugout. Outdoorsmen and bird watchers can tap into Nature's secrets like never before. Nature lovers will be thrilled at the sound quality of this ingenious listening device. Find out what's really going on with your kids and their friends. Take it to a concert when you're too far away from the action. Opera-lovers and theatergoers can sit in the back row and hear as well as those in the $300 front seats.

The Orbitor Electronic Listening Device includes a playback system that records up to 12 seconds on a digital chip--so you not only hear from afar, you have an electronic record of it. A pair of comfortable padded full-size headphones is included.

Robopet™


icon

Robopet™icon

Every kid — and every kid who has grown up — has dreamed of having a robot pet companion...and Robopet™ has arrived at last. He is small, cute and wonderfully like a real puppy — easy to love and he'll love you right back. After one encounter, you will regard Robopet as a real living creature — a fun and funny member of your family.

This invention is loaded with intelligent software and acute sensors that help Robopet move about autonomously; and to see, hear, feel and react to his environment. His little robot body walks, jumps, sits, lies down, begs, rolls over, sniffs, crawls, runs, shakes hands and scratches with incredibly lifelike biomechanical movements. He is smart enough to avoid ledges and obstacles on his own!

Robopet's personality is very expressive — displaying puppy-like moods ranging from friendly and curious to upset and cantankerous. And he is vocal — communicating with barks, pants, whimpers and growls. As Robopet's owner, you get a wireless controller with a Training button to teach behaviors with positive (Good Pet) or negative (Bad Pet) reinforcement; a Tricks button for Robopet showtime; a Target button to shine a "laser" light that Robopet will chase like a stick! Press Guard Mode when leaving Robopet alone and he will stand up and bark if he senses someone coming into his space.

Robopet measures 9" long and is "fed" by 4 AAA batteries; the wireless controller runs on 3 AAA batteries (order batteries separately). Select chrome or red. Great gift for kids ages 8 and older. 90-day warranty.
