These Mini Minion Robots are Amazing!

Hi, this is Josh with Resort TV One, and today I'm going to check out these Robozin Minions, Henry and James, and this mini robot base, and show you all the cool things they can do and all the super cute things they can do, and just show you what these robots are all about and see if you might want to grab some of these for your family to mess around with. I felt like this fit really well on the Resort TV One channel because it's Minions, you know, we do cover Universal and all things, you know, theme parks and characters and things like that and this is kind of the intersection of technology and super cute characters we all love minions so let's check these things out and before we get started with this unboxing i want to thank Robozin for sponsoring this video and giving us these minions to try out and to show all of you just to see what they're all about they sent us an email and i was like oh my gosh we have to check these out and Robozin are the amazing wizards behind the transforming Optimus Prime the Soundwave and all of those super cool robots if you don't know about those check those out as well um as you can see i've got my transformers behind me so those are pretty cool uh and i definitely have been following those very closely as well but i didn't even know they made minions so i can't wait to check these out let's get them out of the box but thank you Robozin for sponsoring this video appreciate it so here's a little closer look at the packaging for each minion we've got henry here let's see henry mini robot looks like he's got some movie stuff there so that's going to be super cool with the movie camera and little the little uh and what do you call that the little clapboard i think is what it's called where they do the take take one take to action like you know what i'm talking about and then we've got james here and he looks like a lot of fun he's got like some kind of a little uh i don't know like a minion weapon or something and a little like sunglass thing to go over his uh one eye goggle there so that's kind of cool anyway i can't wait to see what they do um and how they move around and another thing too if you do end up picking these up from robos and make sure you get the mini robot base as well because that unlocks a lot of the actions and activities that these amazing little robots can do. So the mini robot base is sold separately. So definitely make sure you get at least one of these to go along with your robots. And you only need one because you can take the robots in and out of the base as you want. So, and I believe this even goes with other characters on their website. So once you buy one of these, then you can buy all the other little characters that go with it. So anyway, let's unbox them. So we'll leave the robot base for last though, because Obviously the characters are the most exciting part of this whole experience. All right, so here we go. We're gonna unbox Henry first here. So got the tape cut there and I'm just gonna, okay, I should show you the back of the box as well. It kind of shows you both minions. There also is an online portal, studio.robizen.com where you can program actions and things like that. I've got my computer set up so maybe we'll try that a little bit later. But you can program your own actions, you can add your own voice, you can do all kinds of cool stuff with these. They're very customizable. That's the neat thing about it is it doesn't just, you know, have a pre-programmed list of actions or something, and then that's all it can do. And you're like, oh, okay, well, that's all it can do, right? Because a lot of toys, you know, for years have been like that. You know, they're super cute when you first get them, and then you, you know, you realize it only has a limited number of things that it can say, whereas these are programmable. You can, like, program a pretty much unlimited amount of actions as long as the robot can physically perform the action, like you can program it. So that's pretty exciting. Um, it should be really exciting for kids too, if they want to learn about how to kind of program actions and it's like, you know, a little bit of a coding thought process through there kind of practice for, for later and stuff like that. So anyway, I don't know. It's just such a cool thing here. You can see Henry there in the package. So cute. Oh my goodness. I can't wait to see how much of him is animated and does move. So we'll see if I can pop him out of the plastic there and we'll take our first look at him outside of the package. And there he is. Look, oh my goodness. he is so cute that little old film reel camera there and all of the uh newspapers or something i guess holding it up and the film reels oh my goodness and a little clapboard there that is so so cool wow so there you go that is henry and uh once we get the robot base out we'll see how he fits into that as well let's get out james all right here's james so let's see he's got like a little shrink ray or something i'm not sure what he's what he's holding could be to help Gru steal the moon there's oh there's a little bit of a oh there it shows him with the robot base and all the different things you can do with him it says Roboson mini robot base sold separately up there you go it does tell you that shows how he goes with henry there and there's the studio for the programming so definitely go on there i actually before i started the video i did a little account there it's really easy you just put your email address in and you can log in and the reason for the login is just because that way they can you can save your actions that you program so that it's not lost but it's all web-based so it's super easy and you log in with your account and then you can just program whatever actions that you want so okay let's see if we can get them out of the little plastic here and we will take a look at james here oh my goodness look at that hey so cute there's one eye i wonder what mike wazowski thinks about that nope wrong wrong series but look at that little that little it's like sunglass that's not sunglasses that's sunglass and the oh that's not a shrink ray that's like a okay this is all about movies here i love that so uh this is like a megaphone that he's got here and then he's sitting on film reels and things like that i probably shouldn't move him very much before we plug him in but yeah this is this is super cool wow a lot of attention to detail here too you can tell they're made really really well they're painted nicely and uh i don't know i just love minions look a little hair on the top of his I'm gonna get the robot base out now. Okay, so the mini robot base you see the box there kind of shows You know what it comes or what it looks like I guess and there's not much on the back except for just product information So there it shows how to put them in and how to take them out Looks like there is it looks like there's a way to click him in there and click them back out This does plug into your computer via this included USB C cable. So that is how it is connected it's a nice cable too nice braided cable there you go love to see it very similar to what you might get with an apple product so that's pretty cool all right and then we have the base itself this is pretty nice and heavy i like the way it feels and this is the speaker i would assume that's how the robot you know the robots communicate with their voices and then you have the play button looks like maybe a menu button or change actions and then you have the the sound button it probably allows it to mute or something and then it looks like yeah okay so this is this is how you put them down in here he clicks and then this is how you inject them so and then the back you've got uh looks like a power button back here yep that's a power button your USB-C connection and uh on the bottom just some rubber feet to keep them from sliding around so looks pretty simple and easy to use and there is a user manual there in the bottom of the box i've got a pdf as well but that that does show you a little bit more about how to use it so all right let's plug these in and get them started kind of hard to see but i do want to draw your attention to this little sticker you do need to remove that before you can use this base so make sure you remove that before you get started okay so we have our two minions and we have our base here and so in order to connect them here we'll just we'll just do henry first i believe you have to take this little bottom piece off is what it looks like in the instructions okay so that was easier than I thought. You just hold onto the Minion and the entire bottom piece comes off. There we go. And you can see that's where it connects into, um, and it looks like that's how it controls the motions of the robot. And that's how it connects into the, uh, little socket here in the mini robot base there. And that's how it kind of tells it what to do. So we're going to plug this in here to the mini robot base and, uh, that should give us a nice, yep. Nice little satisfying click there. there you go make sure it's seated in there all the way excellent so now you can see we're seated in the base and it is looking really good here so now i'm going to go on the back side here and turn it on and let's just see what he does i'm just going to mess around with it and see what it does oh hello how are you okay if that's not the cutest thing i don't know what is oh my goodness all right let's see what else he can do so let's push that one more time see if does the same thing or if we have to advance it to the next thing. I love that so much. Oh my goodness. He is so cute. So I guess if you just keep pushing it, there's certain actions that are predefined and then you can program a few more in later. He's really excited. How fun. Let's keep going. I love the little minion language. It's so, so cute. Let me zoom in just a little bit so you can see him even better. There we go. All right, let's try the next one. I love that. Oh my gosh. Minions are so cute. Let's keep going. I got him working a little better. He wasn't quite seated completely in the robot base i suppose because it's new it's nice and tight which is good but now he moves around a little more i hope he's still going i love the way his eyes go back and forth hey buddy i think we've almost gotten all the way around let's keep going it's a lot of actions here and these are all pre-programmed and again you can program as many other actions as you want and the cool thing is on their little online portal you can actually download actions that other people have made too which is super cool exactly all right we're back to the beginning so that's super cool so now we're going to go ahead and put in James here okay i think it's okay to put the to pop these out when they are on so let's see yeah so then you just pull them right out of there oop that didn't work hold on there we go okay probably supposed to turn it off i'm not sure let's turn it off just to be safe okay i think it's probably okay all right so we take the little cap off of this and let me zoom back out just a little there we go and we snap this right back into place and make sure it's it's pretty tight in there so really make sure they're snapped in there nicely and let's see what James has to say turn him on with this little thing on the back let's see what we got here okay nice he's excited to be here they movies they movies and action no okay so cute eureka i found it and of course the base has a battery in it i'm not connected to any power right now but i assume if i do run out of power i'll need to connect my USB-C cable to a power source, but it's good they included a USB-C cable. That's always nice. A lot of manufacturers for things are not including those anymore. Do me best of buddies. Like Henry. Is Henry your best of buddy? All right, let's push the next one. I love his sunglasses. Hollywood. Cool news. That's what it sounded like he said. I made it back to the beginning. All right, super cool. So those are the pre-programmed actions they can do. Actually, I never tried this other button. Let's see what this does. Oh, it repeats it, I think. Okay, so apparently if I hold it down it just kind of goes auto maybe let's see okay so it's just repeating the same thing if I push it twice it'll pause shuffle shuffle okay play an order okay so that's how it works in the um as far as like which actions it does so if you want it to shuffle it'll just randomly go through if you want to play an order I see and then the other one um when I push the play button hold it three times it'll just like keep doing it over and over again so cool very simple very easy to use and um yeah I like it and it's easy to pop them in and pop them out and just you know keep going with it apparently it takes about two and a half hours to charge according to the manual i just read so yeah very simple all right let's connect it to the computer and see what we can do with it there he just started randomly singing la la la la la la, that was one i don't think i'd heard before that was crazy it just started while he was off so here i am on the website and you can see the different a lot of the different mini robot series uh you've got Crayon Shin-chan i don't know who that is but we've got uh mini robot Minion series uh toy story which is kind of cool so lots and here's our minions here and then of course there's the flagship Soundwave and Bumblebee and Megatron and all those amazing ones they even have Buzz Light year but yeah so we're going to click our minion series here and we've actually got james plugged in right now so now all we have to do is if we want to be online it's kind of loading him in and you can kind of see all the little actions you can program in over here but we're going to click here and we're going to plug him in all right so now i've got james plugged in i'm going hit select your robot oh wait i did that already let me do okay well i guess i'll try it again select your robot okay connect robot there we go connect robot mini base there it is okay so here let me pull the camera up so you can see it it says mini base and that is what i want and i hit connect and there we go connected successfully it says figure connected programming mode enabled okay so you can basically just like set all the different parts of his body to move however you them to so that is super super cool so let me play around with this and see what i can do with it and we'll go from there okay so it programs kind of like um on a video timeline so you select your little timeline down here and then i guess you can move kind of his arms around a little bit oh i see so you see his arm is moving so here let's let's move his arm this way oh yep there it went okay this is kind of cool here let me back up the camera so you can see what i just did there all right and then let's move this other arm over here watch this okay that moved up let's move it down yeah so up and down so that doesn't move okay there we go no it moves pretty far and then his eye can go around yep that's kind of cool now we can go oh his waist can move okay so like over here yep and over here so let's make him go back and forth let's go all the way over here all right and then we're going to add another action right here and then we're going to make his waist go all the way over here and we're going to make his eye go the opposite way we're going going to make his arm go this way and his other arm go this way so we're going to kind of make it just make him move like quite a bit and then let's try the next one and we will uh have his arm go maybe back towards the middle this one back towards the middle eyes in the middle and the waist all the way over again there we go and then the next one we'll have the waist come back to the middle as well and we'll have the arm move up and over here and then we'll add one more where everything comes back to the middle boom and boom okay and let's see what happens if i play it see what happens here we go uh maybe i have to start at the beginning i'm not sure all right here we go okay well it should okay it showed it to me there it didn't show it to me with the robot oh there it goes this is what he does here that's really cool all right so over here i click save to robot see if it does it oops there you go download okay let's see what happens uh-huh so now will it do it no okay so it must hopefully i just i think i just saved it to robot let's just to see what happens. Yes, I think that is what I just programmed. I don't think I did the voice though. So I got to figure that part out, but this is so fun. Oh my goodness. I could play with this for hours because it's so fun just to mess around and program stuff. Let me mess with it a little more. Oh, I see audio is audio is right there. Okay. Let me mess with it a little more, see what I can do. Okay. I figured it out. There's a little tutorial video, which was really super helpful. So I made some, um, copyright free music on YouTube just to try this out. And I went into the upload audio section in the start menu and then once you do that and assign it to some actions then you can just do a quick create and then it will actually make the actions for you so I'm just going to do that and I'm going to do music and let's see if he'll dance to the music so it should okay it's just going to generate the actions right there just based on the little dance music that I got so I'm going to back it up so you can see both the robot and the well it's not ready for the robot yet but okay so let's see what he does you can actually see it on the screen there okay let's see cute yeah I like that all right we got to get it on the robot cool all right that's good enough so now I think I just hit save the robot and I think it's going to download okay it's going to download the file and then I'm actually going to be able to actually add it to the robot you actually have to add it to his little folder in his little USB drive so I'll be back after I've done that okay I think I got it the tutorials were really really helpful basically you just download it as a zip file it becomes a folder and you drag it over to the USB so let's see if it'll play now the action that i had yep how cute that's my music you can't see but i'm dancing but he's doing better than me oh my goodness i love that okay that was actually pretty fun still dancing okay this is way more fun like to create stuff with it like obviously the actions are cute but this is amazing it really came up some good actions for him nice that was a lot of fun i like that a lot oh my goodness that was super fun i can't believe we got to play with some minions and just you know program our own minions activities and you know be super creative with it and i just play with it for a few minutes i mean you could really do some crazy cool stuff with this and really get like some songs from the real minion shows or download some actual audio the minions talking from the internet and also you can make actions based on their talking too so you don't just have to go with the files that are already on the robots you can actually download your own minion audio you know i mean it's all over the internet right so download something that conversation between the minions or something and you can put that on the robot as well and then it can come up with its own actions i actually like the quick create best because it's just really fast it generates its own actions and it's really fun but if you want to generate your own you can as well and what i finally figured out is actually what you need to do is upload the audio then take the action that you created in that custom menu then put it all together and then you know put it all in the robots folder so it's really easy if you watch the tutorial and it only took me a couple minutes to figure it out. So special thanks to RoboSim for sponsoring this video, for sending these robots so we can check them out, have fun with them, play around with them. I can't wait to let my son Liam play with them as well because they're going to be something that I think he's going to enjoy a lot. So anyway, if you're interested in checking these out, go to the link in the description down below. I'll put it on the screen as well. It's really easy to find, and they've got more than this as well. If you're not as big of a Minion fan or if you like Toy Story more, there's a few different characters you can choose from, and they all fit in this same base or you can get one of each and get a minion you know and you can get a toy story character and then they both go in this base and you can save files different files to each robot and just have a great time with them or you can get more than one little base and you can have them like talk to each other so that's kind of cool too but do keep in mind that you can only use one at a time if you only have one base so that's something to to um you know think about when you're buying all the stuff on RoboSim's site but definitely check that out and i hope enjoyed the video so we will see you next time so for now have a great big beautiful tomorrow bye
