Just saw this in the catalog: http://www.sharperimage.com/si/view/product/Smart-Rover-Robotic-Toy/200062

Kind of a Big Trak vehicle, program via keypresses. Digitally record and deliver a message. Looks like a camera on top, but apparently it's just a headlight or speaker.

It talks about a "return home" feature. Probably plays the recorded moves backwards and hopes for the best.

Still, not terrible for $70. I'll look for it on Woot after Christmas for $30.

    Has a bit of resemblance to Wall-E, too.

    Can't get a feel for the size of the platform from a distance.

    I've seen some Hallmark cards that allow a digitally recorded message, too. The electronics for this function cost less than $0.75 in China.
