AWESOME! Looks like a birthday present idea to me.
Categories: General Robotics
From technabob:
This sophisticated compact robot has been available in Japan for about a few months now, and is now finding its way to American shores.
The HPI GR-001 G-Robot features 20 motors that can be programmed to follow your every command. In addition to the included PS2-like controller, you can also direct the G-Robot using your computer and the included animation software.

What most impressed me was the clip where the G-robot not only pics up a miniature soccer ball - but also throws it with authority :)

Billboard said: AWESOME! Looks like a birthday present idea to me.
To quote the article referenced earlier
"If you’ve got a spare $2400 lying around with nothing better to do, you can order one "
Nobody I know gets $2400 birthday presents. Will you adopt me?

I dont, but I do have some money. about 70 and I get some money for birthday from my parents. 200. And then I have my friends. On average 300. then grandparents. And there is only about 500 bucks left to go. It wont be hard to save for one.

Nice video's, I wouldn't mind one either Billboard, But at $2,400 And I guess that's U.S $'s.I need some of your friends so I can buy it.
People yearn after this robotic dream, but you can't strip your life of all meaning, emotion and feeling and expect to function.
