Hawk WiFi robot is probably more fun to hang around with than your friends

Hawk is a humanoid, autonomous, wireless, and handsome robot made by Canadian company Dr. Robot. He's got WiFi, a GPS navigation system, dual cameras in his moveable, animated head, and a host of other cameras and sensors that keep him trucking along. Designed with education in mind, Hawk's skill set is a bit limited, but his hands are pretty impressive. Hawk is on sale now, and while there's no price listed for the bot, base parts of the robot are in the range of $5,000. Video of Hawk beating the skins after the break: yes, we're aware of the fact that he's not exactly John Bonham but, then again -- neither are any of your friends, right?

Actually one of my friends is one of the Best in the world. Ranked 6th so um yeah John who?

But this one's ranked 1st, otherwise he wouldn't be more fun than your friend!
On a side note, if we got no friends, would this mean the robot sucks?

It's like Helper from The Venture Brothers: "And a robot on drums"

I doubt Hawk would look so friendly wielding two Katana swords or with a laser mounted on his shoulder...

I, for one, welcome our drumming robot overlords!!!

I don't know why, but I look at Hawk WiFi robot and all I can think of is Space Ghost circa 1966—maybe as a robot assistant to Brak.
