FIRST LOOK New Zuru Alive Robo Fish Spinoff: Robo Boats - Unboxing, Testing, Review, Comparison

This is a full review on Zuru’s Latest robo fish spinoff related product, which is the robo boat! These are based on an older robotic boat produced by Zuru called Micro Boats, and feature 4 fresh new color options. They are small, fun little toys that come to life as soon as they touch water, using two sensors at the bottom of the unit. It can also sense when it has hit an object, prompting it to turn around and change direction. They are much faster than robo fish, but obviously robo fish have the ability to dive where these do not. I’d say the boats are better for a pool whereas the fish are better in a tank or a tub.
These are available on Amazon in dual packs:

4:29 the gray version of the Robo boat … it looks a little.. militaristic

[@redstonecommander5190]

No joke it literally looks like something you would find from the Navy

[@Xbell-The-Road-Rippers-Expert]

@@redstonecommander5190 That's because it was used in Navy wars (and other wars). The paint jobs these use are called *Shark Mouth War Paint* a decoration commonly used on vehicles in war to look more "menacing".. Some people nowadays use it as a stylistic choice for things such as these or the RR Nitro Burnout Chopper Motorcycles

Ngl the robofish are a lot more entertaining to watch swim. Recently I got my first ever robofish in my collection (the blue tang from the robo alive series) and even though it’s just one robofish, it’s actually quite fun to watch the little guy swimm around and occasionally headbutt the tank. The boats just sorta feel underwhelming to watch. Like at least Robofish had a lot of uses like the pool, the fishtank, pranks… not a lot to do with the boats. Update: Ok so my perspective is sort of changing on the Roboboats a little bit. Just a while ago I got my hands on the 2012 clownfish and I guess he was a factory dud because he wouldn’t swim in water and moments later when I changed the batteries he just stopped completely. Now I’m thinking of buying a roboboat and converting it into sort of a Robofish wheelchair type contraption so he can still swim.

[@Tornadobot14]

I kind of agree but the boats stop and go and it would become a surprise where they would go next after they stop. The fish just keeps on going.

[@Rice_Wolf]

@@Tornadobot14 the fish do keep going but sometimes they pause and switch speed. Not to mention nearly each RoboFish series pretty much has a different series of swimming patterns/speeds. From what I find the newer ones swim more casually while the 2012 ones feel the constant need to zoom around the tank and it’s quite fun to watch them!

[@Tornadobot14]

Oh, that’s strange because my fish just kept on going and it would just go in circles. But the boat kept going straight and it paused and reversed. But, mabye it’s just mine.

[@Rice_Wolf]

@@Tornadobot14 Yeah sometimes they go in circles. Sometimes that’s because of the tank. I’ve put my robofishies in a square shaped tank a lot and found they stick to the sides a little, but putting them in one of the official zuru robofish bowls allowed them to swim a little more towards the middle sometimes.

[@Rice_Wolf]

@@Tornadobot14 it could just be yours too though because of my few robofish, I’ve had one that malfunctioned and refused to swim before breaking, and another with the batteries completely rusted. I changed out the little guys batteries and he swims now but he swims more towards the bottom compared to my other fish

[@Xbell-The-Road-Rippers-Expert]

Zuru ain't too Slick lmao These are essentially just a re-release of their Micro Boats from 2016 literally the same items just under a rebrand to fit into their "robo alive" series and with different packaging. Which in this case it makes no sense for them to be under that name since they're boats not robotic living 'organisms' nor does the "Robo" part make sense imo but I'm guessing they did that because they have the *Shark Mouth War Paint* design with animal esque names but even with that it still makes no sense for them to be put under that name. They should've just stuck with the Micro Boats name to avoid confusion with people thinking these are 'new' or different from the Micro Boats. The only thing that's new about the boats are the paint jobs

[@IDogFan41]

I figured the Micro boats were the same, but at least we get more cool colors.
