Looks pricey and limited. Interesting aspect ratio, CG must be up high since this is a fairly tall robot with a·small motorized base. No fast, sharp turns, please! Check the videos at the bottom.

    I agree - pricey! The base must be really heavy and the rest really light to have a chance of staying upright. The bases alone are more interesting to me.

    The challenge in getting the price down is getting volumes up. If they sold a million of them they would be dirt cheap. Oddly the other way doesn't work - make them cheap and you won't necessarily sell a million of them.

    As soon as you sell 50,000 decent units, a million China knock-offs sell pretty cheap!

    whit ou stated that you liked the base of the unit. It looks to me that it is a hybrid between the Scribbler and the StingRay base.. But this robot is pretty cool..
