      At least 20 feet(6 meters). I've never tried further.It has a "Roam" feature that lets it explore the room on its own, but it usually gets stuck in a corner.D'oh!

      I reckon a bump n go device would sort out those corners Brian. Blimey can you imagine a 10 foot version of that toy with a roam setting! Your neighbours would be dialling 911 for sure!

    Though I saw a 1950s Nomura Mechanised Robot (Robby). A classic piece of 50s tinplate, Woodsy :)
