MechRC is a cool new robot that is very technical but unlike other applications of technology where the product becomes more complex this device is simplified by it. Unlike most programming where you need to enter complex commands to be executed with this robot you simply show it what you would like! Our friends over at Trossen Robotics are the first in the United States to offer the robot, it isn’t cheap though. At almost $600.00 I hope you have a bit saved up in your robot fund already.

"High torque metal gear servos, LiPo batteries for longer run times, a fluid 3D visual software programming interface for easy custom motions, and a remote control unit are included. Everything you need to have you own walking robot is included in this ready-to-walk kit! With over a hundred pre-installed motions and sounds you can get this robot throwing some dance floor shapes or some killer fighting moves straight from the box.
