Your new robot companion that listens!

Meet Hero, the robot that responds to your voice, claps, and sounds instead of buttons or apps. Using three directional microphones, Hero can figure out exactly where you are and what you want him to do. Just clap your hands or use the included castanet to give him commands.

Hero has four different modes that make him feel like a real companion. He can track you down wherever you're hiding, follow you around like a loyal pet, obey your sound commands, or challenge you to an intense tug-of-war match. His retractable arms fold into his round body, and his huge glowing eye shows different expressions so you always know what he's thinking.

Building Hero from over 100 pieces is part of the adventure. The 52-page manual walks you through assembly step-by-step, includes a fun comic story, and teaches you the science behind how his super-hearing actually works.
