We Bought a ‘Peeing’ Robot Attack Dog From Temu. It Was Even Weirder Than Expected

Elsewhere, I tin only presume that nan controller has been pumped afloat of helium, specified is its hollow, airy lightness. It’s heavy inspired by nan style of an Xbox controller, and I peculiarly emotion nan truth that its bumper buttons and triggers are simply formed from 1 immobile portion of molded plastic. There’s thing rather beautiful successful their utter uselessness that I bask very much.

As for nan business end, it's an ADHD nightmare, littered pinch a chaotic array of buttons successful seemingly nary logical order. I springiness in installments to nan designers for creating a controller that laughs successful nan look of musculus memory.

Initial attempts astatine turning Clippy connected are unsuccessful. The on/off move does nothing, and nan charging ray remains dormant erstwhile nan USB-C cablegram is plugged in. There are nary instructions.

Opening nan artillery compartment reveals nan culprit—the artillery is disconnected. Was this to debar it draining successful transit, aliases to trim nan consequence of spontaneous combustion? Either way, it’s plugged backmost in. Clippy lives.

And wow, he’s loud. The built-in speakers are beyond shrill. I desperately look done nan carnage of controller buttons, hoping to find a measurement aliases shut up option. There isn’t one.

Naturally, I property Urinate first. Clippy’s hind limb raises. That, I expected. What I didn’t expect, was cheerful whistling, and nan sound of h2o tinkling into a toilet bowl.

I look, and hap upon nan Handstand button. This, I feel, will beryllium an awesome trial of his dexterity. A handstand maneuver will surely telephone upon aggregate gyroscopes and accelerometers, combining and crunching information from galore sensors successful existent clip to guarantee that Clippy’s assemblage remains perfectly poised successful balance.

I property nan button, and Clippy immediately—and alternatively violently—face-plants. The unit of this maneuver takes maine disconnected guard, and nan effect is loud. I americium worried.

A infinitesimal passes, his rear legs rise, and they statesman to twitch. I presume this evident seizure is meant to correspond elegant scissor kicks. It’s reminiscent of really ants pass pinch their antennae, a shape of silent communication. “Don’t blasted maine bro, did you really expect thing else?” I tin almost perceive him plead. But, somehow, Clippy does return to his feet and appears unscathed, fresh for more. Me? I'm not truthful sure.

Multitalented

As I mentioned, nan controller has many, galore buttons—no little than 17 functions successful fact—and I’m not going to bore you pinch gratuitous descriptions for each one. Instead, here’s a speedy rundown of nan main buttons, to springiness you a wide thought of immoderate of Clippy's talents:

Kung Fu: Absolutely zero semblance of immoderate martial creation moves, aliases moreover a cheeky backflip. Instead (and wholly inexplicably), immoderate shape of poolside, Lost Frequencies-esque lounge euphony blasts out. Clippy “dances.”

Swimming/Dance: I precocious saw Usher execute live. Both of these buttons impact vigorous floor-humping that surpass moreover his astir sexually charged efforts. A genuinely awesome feat. Oh, and a broadside statement for immoderate optimists retired there: Clippy is not waterproof. Do not, I repetition do not, present him to water.
