Erector's $300 Spykee gets a ship date: October 15th

We're not even going to front -- we had all but forgotten about Erector's Spykee. Granted, it didn't do itself any favors by showing off at CES and then doing nothing for the next seven months, but we digress. If a pre-order page on Amazon is to be believed, the Spykee Spy Robot should be released on October 15th. It's sporting a hefty $299.99 price tag and a recommended age of 8-years and up, but we'll need to see some actual shipment notifications later this fall before we really get our hopes up. C'mon Erector, don't let us, um, down.

Would it be possible to build something like this for less than $299.99?

Hard to judge... What did your mom say?

[Sachin Posted Aug 24th 2008 4:06PM]

I don't know about you, but I built one for free just last night.

Is it just me or does "Erector" sound like an adult toy ?

Giving it to a child...go all Michael Jackson.

If it can be controlled by an iPhone, I'm in!

Someone created a program for that, but then Apple used its kill switch to delete it.

you mean, Apple used the Kill switch to delete it, then KILL the creator

I see an interest peaking...

"a recommended age of 8-years and up"

Given the name of this thing, I'm now fully creeped out.

WowWee's Rovio is supposed to be on sale August/September and iRobot's Connectr is supposed to be available to the public at some point in 2008. Battlemodo! FIGHT!

[djsiek Posted Aug 24th 2008 10:44PM]

Why would you want this instead of Rovio?

[trotterkale Posted Aug 24th 2008 11:10PM]
