Wow. My first bot was a rover with a camera since I always wanted to make one of those. Then a few years later it's a kid's toy.

Pretty cool though.

The cool thing about this toy is that it was invented/designed by a hobbyist, and he's been working on and off on a giant version of it for a while now. That project has been on hold since he got hooked up with the toy company though.
