This toy robot is cool – I saw one on Rove Live last night and now I want to grab one. Who wouldn’t want a robot that dances?

As far as I can tell, an Australian scientist is the engineer who designed it which is heart warming. Sure it’s not the most advanced piece of machinery out there but it’s affordable for a grown ups toy. Imagine the chicks I can pull with this baby.
Looks like it receives its commands via infrared (it’s eyes are the sensors). Maybe with a little luck I’ll be able to make an appropriate LIRC driver and send commands to it via a computer. Sure line of sight would be a pain, but the possibility is there.

Hopefully this baby will be in stores around the states when I head over there in two weeks.
