    I had no idea they ran that much. No space for addons :/ I wonder what the software is like, all I've seen is dancing and talking. I want to see one in a robot combat arena. Better yet the owners face when $15k get pounded and torched lol.

    That's nice...

    But for $15000, he'd darned well be capable of opening the fridge and fetching me a cold adult beverage! Just sayin'...

    I think their dance would look so much cooler if they all had laser heads. That ups the costs another six grand each.

    And don't forget the special cases when taking the show on the road.

    And you don't want to skimp on cases for these things. I read on the internet, about a person who tried to use one of these perfectly fine but not insanely over priced cases to transport his Nao, and the insulted robot strangled his owner while the owner was asleep in his (probably cheap) motel room bed.
