Looks like, anyway! Blue or pink, your choice. https://www.gearbest.com/rc-robot/pp_694789.html

Better than $9500: https://www.robotlab.com/store/nao-standard-edition

    But it's nothing like a Nao. The Nao actually walks. This is just another take on those big "walking" Japanese (and now Chinese) toys. I'd say it's worth about $18 on the clearance aisle.

    Mine arrived yesterday and I'll be ordering another one to hack! Def worth the $18, nicely molded, decent size LiPo inside. The Chinglish voice inside ("Yo-Ho, My Friends, Come On!") is hysterical, per the video above. I'll leave one stock. The leg parallelogram mechanism is nice & smooth. Two motors drive the foot wheels separately to simulate walking. Definitely a Figure 8 contender. Might need to get the pink girl version to see the voice in that one.

    They figured nobody would notice. They were wrong.

    And the "sale" price is now $22, up from $18. The "erco effect" strikes again.

    I just ordered this dance cube bot from GearBest too. The blue one is on sale for $37 for a while. These have been around a while, Parallax should sell a kit to make one with a Propeller! Need. Walking. Dancing. Robot.

    Iirc Rayman has working Propeller code for these.
