R2D2 he is not. But at least he can become a vacuum cleaner.

I did some searches on this crazy little thing, and apparently it’s still being sold (primarily, it seems, for classroom settings) for over $3000. And its arm attachment will set you back $2000. It must be pretty decent if it’s been on the market for that long. Has anyone here actually worked with one of these things?

TOPO/B.O.B. could kick this thing’s ass.

I find it funny that they show it coming up to the door from being outside in the snow. Really, who’d expose a $3000 robot like that to bad weather?
Then again, I have a co-worker who has a Hero-1 living in his barn!

Paulie’s robot was so much cooler than this one.

That was a reference to Rocky IV.
