The ROBOTIS modular robot system

Just when you thought we were through with this IREX
'05 robotic insanity, we bring you this little trained assassin. Of course, he might look totally insane right here
in, um, doggie mode, but you could make the ROBOTIS look like a skilled ninja since it's totally configurable. Kind of
like a Lego set for robots, ROBOTIS carries all the individual parts on their website you'll need for making whatever
walking, crawling, scurrying, lounging, or kick butting robot you can come up with — or afford. The parts, they ain't
cheap though; a hand can run you $260 dollars, and they're not exactly giving away the other stuff. There's also no
telling how the software compares to Lego's
Mindstorm offerings, but there is definite potential here.

Their english site is just way fun to read
oh, my future doggie....wildest dream.
Ya know... I do have some kick-butting to do. If autonomously, all the better.
Holy crap! Their gonna take over the world! (Check the last line on the english page)
