This is one incredibly dynamic hobbyist robot! Just watched a YouTube video of this at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ufQf6wyhyAs . It’s a wonderfully orchestrated video of 6 of these things performing synchronized dance routines to background music. In the video, these flexible, double-jointed robots showcase somersault and cartwheel abilities as well as stretches and small jumps. They run just $900 for a kit! What a bargain…Apparently, this robot is used quite often in the RoboGames competitions and frequently win medals. RoboGames is also home of the famous ”BattleBots” arena style fighting. Hopefully, this will become one of my first hobby kit robots…I’d love to see what I could program it to do.
