| sands | Untitled Review | | Voted 4/5 | Great cams at an unbelievable price. I bought them (after grilling the phone girl about the return policy...i didn't have much faith) and recieved them in the mail two days later (very cool). Took them out to the Whichitas and tried them out...friggin awesome...the action is smooth, they feel bomber when they're placed in a crack, ce and uiaa certified and I really like the double length slings, even the color coding system is good.
My over all satisfaction is very high, however a few deficiencies...with only five regular sizes and three micros there CAN be some holes in coverage depending upon your personal comfort level. My suggestion is to double up or supplement with other cam manufacturers if possible (Christmas is coming). The other thing (and this is with all double sling cams that I've used) make sure that you clip the doubled sling in such a way that it will not get hung up on the stitch if and when you try to extend it (usually stitch strand to the back of the carabiner). If you get a set and try to use them you'll see what I mean. Actually, at under $200 it shouldn't be "if" you get a set...you might be kind of dumb not to. | | Posted Oct 25, 2002 12:50 pm |

Voted 1/5 | I have used ROBOTS on two occaissions and will NEVER own any. I believe that there is something fundamentally wrong with their design and structure. Without exception, all of the larger sized one (hand size or larger) that that I have placed, or seen placed, have a distinct tendancy to try and turn upside-down. With minimal provocation, simply the rope running through the quickdraw, the clip-in end of the stem will find its way ABOVE the cam end of the unit. I've seen this tendancy in the larger camming units (i.e.#5 or larger) of several companies. Surely it has something to do with the basic physics of larger units, but the ROBOTS display this behavior even in their hand-fist size units. While the purchase price is low, the Real Price that you end up paying could be Very High!!!!! | | Posted Jan 26, 2003 10:17 am |
| Thomas Slater | Untitled Review | | Voted 4/5 | The smaller sizes, like up to size 5, are great in my opinion. The trigger wires are a little close, adn the bars have a tendency to slide up the wires. If you have really large hands, these might not be your best choice. Up to size five, i never have had them walk on me (this is in East Coast sandstone, though) Past that, they are a little narrow in head-width for their size, and like to wiggle around. On the top 3 sizes, i like to use a quickdraw unless its a straight-up and down crack. For the price point, and even in general, i think these are great cams. I've used them on every hard lead i've done, and I've never had a problem. Like i said, in the top three sizes pay a little attention, maybe throw on a draw, and they dont walk. Lower sizes are bomber. Metolius cams have a nicer trigger and walk less, and Camalots have a better expansion range, but I dont think that either model is worth the extra cash. | | Posted Dec 5, 2003 12:26 am |

Voted 4/5 | Typical that the same cams of the same brand but with another name on it suddenly are better. And always it are werstern ones witch "are better" but both of them are produced in Eastern europe. For instance look at the flex from rock empire (not trango). The flex is the old model from Rock Empire and the robots the new (its pretty much the same exept for the u stem and robot is stronger). Typical how price has influece on the faith from people in cam divices. | | Posted Dec 9, 2003 9:06 am |
| weeds19 | Great Value | | 
Voted 5/5 | Great value without sacrificing performance. I bought a set of these as a supplement to the set of cam-a-lots that I have owned for years. While I still like the BDs a little bit better I would buy the Robots again in a heart beat and would choose them over other brands because of the value factor. Yes, their range is a little smaller, but you can buy two of the cams for the price of one BD or Metolius. | | Posted Feb 3, 2007 10:05 pm |
