...little longer than that, but only a little, so it's recommended that you charge it whenever it's not in use. If you don't, and let the battery sit too long, it might require a 16-hour re-conditioning charge. It's built for use on tile, linoleum, vinyl, marble, slate or stone, and sealed hardwood. You don't want to use it on unsealed hardwood or stone, or any laminate wood. Of course, carpets and rugs are out of the question...
...What can't Robosapien V2 do? Well, besides being clumsy when picking up and putting down objects, it?s also not terrific on carpet. If you don't have a nice tile or hardwood floor for this Robosapien, you're going to see it take its share of face plants.

For example, Danny’s space ship lands on a particular tile and a card pops out: “Meteor Shower, Take Evasive Action.” A meteor shower actually does demolish the living room and the two boys are forced to finish the game to get back home. Our two heroes battle Zorgons (reptilian aliens that look like they descended from...
...esque creative rendering, permit me this brief flight of fancy: Miles and I are seated at the Scrabble board, prepared to engage in this trivial pursuit, and the competitive juices start flowing like it’s the 1997 NCAA Final Four all over again. He draws the better tile and gets to go first, running “magic” off the center square to the right. With a double letter score on the “C” and a double word score from the middle, he picks up 26 quick points. I get the allusion...
