Antbo Walker

Yet another STEM robot which overpromised to teach kids coding and rock the world of education to its core. Certainly a new form factor anyway, appears to be a 3-servo Arduino bot. Even if less practical than rolling robots walkers have a WOW factor. Of course I still think a Toddler or Penguin style robot would be MUCH better than this, Ken.

Izzit time yet? :)

    Same here. I wonder how many tons of electronic/mechanical equipment are gathering dust because they depend on an internet site that is no longer there.
  • Cosmo, probably vector. At least since Anki shut down. So sad.

    OK OK: Cloud & Arduino (!!) were clearly bad calls. STEM/STEAM/STREAM has a negative connotation in the toy industry now, since it's an overused buzzword anyone can glob onto their product.

    My REAL point was, hey, here's another factor for a walker. Walkers are inherently cool. Even if slow & clunky like this one.

    Please allow me to start over:

    Hey Ken, how about a new P2-based walker? Look how low the bar has been set! :)

    On board entirely!
