Ok, call me jaded - but for US$139, I expected a little more. This small (8 inch) robot can walk forward, walk backward, stop, and make a noise. The core functionality is a cam that syncronizes the movement of legs and feet. So, the motor turns and he walks. This is pretty much a refinement of the small windup robots we've all seen. It is cute, as they intended, but if I had $139, I'd put it towards a Mindstorms kit.
On the other hand, the paper cutout model is kinda cool. Download, print, cut and glue to assemble.
