WowWee Wrex dog-bot farts, urinates, breaks down

WowWee's Wrex the Dog resists comparison with the obvious. A remote-controlled, highly-programmable bad bog, it performs 18 tricks ranging from shaking hands to baptizing fences. It breaks down on purpose, behaving erratically until "repaired." It farts, rolls its eyes, and barks at passers-by.

In short, it's the cutting edge of cheap consumer robotics. Take that, Korean edu-bot mark XI! $170, and he's yours!
