On-topic: You know this thing ain't for kids. It's for the geektastic adults who wanted something like this as a kid. Like me. :(]]>May 15th 2008 4:56AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/May 15th 2008 11:49AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/May 15th 2008 1:07AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/May 15th 2008 1:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/May 15th 2008 1:58AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/May 27th 2008 11:21AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/May 15th 2008 1:10AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/May 15th 2008 2:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/May 15th 2008 1:36AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/
Especially if you could have it memorize a particular route and put 'stop' points for lights or for cross walks so the robot would automatically stop by itself. Ideally, the robot would wait before continuing at the 'stop point' at which point it would go when you hit the continue-journey button...ideally when the walk light turns green or oyu look left/right to verify no oncoming cars.

Even cooler would be a video camera that looks left/right or recognizes/sees walk signs. I'd ride that thing all the way to work based of eletricity, never pay for gas again and just read a book or use a laptop on my robot to work. WHo knows though, the robot would probably have a built in mp3 function ideally or maybe come witha virzon wireless aircard so I could stream my dvr-ed tv shows from the previous night onto a built in display screen?

Ah, someday. Still a few years away but I'll keep dreaming.]]>May 15th 2008 1:39AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/May 15th 2008 1:50AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/May 15th 2008 2:04AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/May 15th 2008 8:00AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/May 15th 2008 2:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/May 15th 2008 3:03AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/May 15th 2008 8:53AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/http://www.engadget.com/2008/05/15/ringbo-riding-robot-up-close-and-personal/
