Wacky Japanese Robot Kit at Walmart.com
The Gakken Co-Robot kit used to be hard to find, Maker Shed only is where I got mine. Now it's easier and cheaper to get since it's been rebranded "Jr. Scientist": http://www.walmart.com/ip/EDU-Toys-Tumbling-Robot-Kit/36624278
One motor, no electronics, all mechanical. Very cleverly designed mechanism. Fun to watch drunken/spastic walking action, but when it falls down it picks itself up and keep going. http://www.coolgizmotoys.com/2008/05/co-robot-kit-by-gakken.html Good for your collection and the kids will like it too.
Not my video, but my favorite part is around 1:30, when its own head falls off and it kicks it several times like a soccer ball.
