THIS ROBOT SINGS! ^_^ and if you have other ones too they will sing in harmony! .. not to mention dance :) the robot can remember people's faces with its awesome color eyesight.. it has a vocab of 60,000 words.. AND the little guy can fall and get back up on its own.. although they are going to be sold around $40,000.. if not more

What do YOU think about this little modern marvel?

...He's going to turn on us and destroy us all. Or, he could be a happy household entertainment display piece for many wonderful years to come... It's up to you to decide... o_O

I dunno, I think it's a bit..... advanced... :drunk: Is it like that "Poochi" robot toy dog or something? It sounds pretty awesome... :)

Oh yeah, let me pull out one of these many 50 grand bills and go buy one. Untill they get to where they can do whatever I say for them to do I will not pay a dime for one.

Hey. I just saw that dancing robot on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart. He was making fun of it. He said that it can remember up to 10 faces, and when it's memory is full it goes to combat mode and kills the faces it remembers to make more space in its memory.:laugh:
