Build Your Own Robot
DeAgostini Japan’s latest hobby project is Robo Xero, a cool build-it-yourself robot kit:
Like previous projects such as the samurai armor and aircraft carrier kits, it is sold as weekly packages that provide parts and instructions for each stage of construction. This robot is apparently sold as 70 kits, each with a retail price of 1,990 yen. Robots are not cheap.
Apparently it will also include software that helps you program customized movements of the robot. In the commercial, they even show the robot writing with a brush!
