FAQ
What is the WowWee MiPosaur used for?
The MiPosaur is a self-balancing two-wheeled dinosaur robot for interactive entertainment — it follows a ball using infrared tracking, responds to hand gestures, and interacts via the MiPosaur iOS/Android app. It uses WowWee's MiP self-balancing technology platform in a dinosaur-themed form factor.
Is the WowWee MiPosaur still available?
The MiPosaur was discontinued by WowWee and is no longer in production. It remains available on secondary markets including Amazon and eBay. The original retail price was approximately $99–119.
What made the WowWee MiPosaur innovative at launch?
The MiPosaur's ball-following interaction was genuinely novel at its 2015 launch — using infrared sensing to autonomously track a physical ball, creating an interactive chase game that required no screen or app. Combined with WowWee's proven two-wheel self-balancing platform, it offered physical interactive robot play that most toy robots of the era couldn't match.
Who is the WowWee MiPosaur designed for?
The MiPosaur was designed for children aged 5 and above and adults wanting an interactive robot toy with active physical play — the ball-following mode encourages movement and spatial interaction that screen-based robot toys don't provide. Its dinosaur theme targeted children with a strong affinity for the Jurassic era.
How does the WowWee MiPosaur compare to the Zoomer Dino Boomer?
Both are discontinued interactive dinosaur robots from 2015. MiPosaur (WowWee) uses self-balancing two-wheel locomotion and a ball-following infrared interaction mode; Zoomer Dino Boomer (Spin Master) uses a quadruped chassis and responds to over 100 voice commands. MiPosaur is more interactive through physical movement; Dino Boomer is more command-responsive through voice.
