I'm drooling for a Robosapien! Check out these features:


- Real multi-speed fast dynamic walking, running, and turning.
- Fast, full function arms with two types of grippers.
- 67 pre-programmed functions including pick-up, throw, kick, sweep,dance, fart, beltch, rap, and half-a-dozen different kung-fu moves.
- Speaks fluent international "caveman".
- Programmable "reflexes" to touch, pickup, kicks, or sound.
- Up to 84 program steps, with 4 program modes for advanced operations, .
- No computer required, all functions handled by ergonomic remote control.
- Runs on regular batteries for over 6 hours.
- Three demonstration modes: Disco dance, Rude behavior, and Kung Fu kata.
- Simple enough for kids, advanced enough for adults, it's like a video game character for the home.


Here's demo videos from the 2004 toy fair.

Belches, farts, disco dances, speaks caveman, and does Kung Fu....only $99.00! Hmmm... I may be replaced by a robot sooner than I think...

Those definitely rock for a $99.00 toy! Some serious engineering for that battery life.

Reminds me of my Tobor (the name is slipping, it was a six wheel vehicle you could program to move in steps).

Indeed. The $99.00 price point is amazing.

Yeah, well until it's in stores at that price and does what they claim, I'll hold my breath. Still, at least they've got demos.

Damn it. Now I've got another toy I can't justify... >:)
