hey guys look what I got that's right I
got this Hexbug Aquabot robot seahorse
this swims in water and I'm gonna
demonstrate that a little bit later in
the video but right now we're gonna take
this out of the package and have a
closer look alright guys so before I
open the package here I want to show you
that this comes with two spare batteries
and they are located right on the bottom
here alright so hopefully you find that
handy now we're gonna open this thing up
alright here is this piece right here
and there's the button to turn it on and
I see it flashing but this has to be in
water for it to work let me see if I
push the other side maybe that was shut
it off
one of the first things I notice here is
that this little tail is nice soft
silicone same thing oh I just touched
that it started going weird all right so
this fin is also nice silicone so that
is good to know
another thing I want to point out is
that let's well let's open the bottom
part here get a little crazy with all
garage clips on this bottom part here
just come off that would be pretty cool
this taped up real nicely maybe I can
pull out the top nope
all right here this is coming out
finally and while this is really kind of
thin plastic you could technically put
this on the bottom of a fish tank or
something like that if you really wanted
to let's take off this tape let's get it
all nice and ready for what we're gonna
do coming up next alright so we've got
this we've got this and we've got our
spare batteries do not throw these away
guys you want to keep those handy and
coming up next I am going to put this in
water and we're gonna see this thing
swim alright guys so we're gonna let
this thing rip so I'm gonna push this
button right there turn it on and let's
watch it go
[Music]
all right so my initial observations are
that this thing it definitely swims it
wants to hang out towards the top and
it's not that fast it's really not
terribly exciting and it looks like it's
already slowing down
oh well then pick up speed a little bit
I'm gonna push it down see if that
changes things at all
[Music]
nope it's just puting along doing this
thing and one of the things that
apparently you can get to wake up is to
tap the glass or tap the sides there's
some sensors on it that not only does
the water help wake it up
but tapping on glass or whatever helps
trigger something within helps trigger
something within the seahorse itself all
right guys let's try another camera
angle you're gonna come right back with
another camera angle alright so here is
another angle that we're gonna watch
this swim around in get this thing going
drop it in the water hopefully you can
see a little bit better this way now
this thing isn't very fast it's not
terribly exciting and that's okay
because we have some special guests
coming up to join a little seahorse in
the water and of course they are the
Wahoo's
and these things are fast in comparison
[Music]
almost too fast in comparison there are
thrashing and splashing this is a lot of
fun guys all right guys I'm gonna wrap
this thing up by saying that the
seahorse is a little bit of a letdown
it's not terribly fast and exciting now
if you are young and you don't require
something very dynamic to entertain you
like a little toddler it might be fun
however compared to something like the
Hexbug Wahoo's it's not even in the same
ballpark as you can see so I'm
definitely gonna say I'm lukewarm on the
the seahorse here it's not really
working a hundred percent consistently
it'll swim for a little bit and then
it'll stop and it's obviously super slow
even when it does work so uncle Ryan's
not gonna recommend the seahorse it
looks cool and in theory it's it's kind
of a cool idea but it doesn't sink down
to the bottom it kind of stays at the
top and overall it's pretty boring so
uncle Ryan is not gonna recommend it
with that being said like comment and
