Mark Tilden was the engineer behind this toy and many others like Robosapien.
He has an interesting take on the laws of robotics:
1 - A robot must protect its existence at all costs.
2 - A robot must obtain and maintain access to its own power source.
3 - A robot must continually search for better power sources.
