Pardon me, Lord Vader. I believe you are mistaken. I was not talking to the human; I was trying to speak with this tiny new droid. I don't know where it learned to communicate, but it has a most peculiar dialect. I believe it said for you to insert your lightsaber in your Sith rectum and turn it on.]]>May 21st 2010 10:45AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/May 21st 2010 11:41AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/May 21st 2010 4:48PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/Open source means that some evil genius out there will just start Skynet with this thing.]]>May 21st 2010 5:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/]]>May 21st 2010 9:57AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/May 21st 2010 10:02AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/maybe something related to cost cutting.]]>May 21st 2010 11:09AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/May 21st 2010 11:42AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/

Tiny little guy, too.

That said, there's one thing that's keeping this in the "maybe" category for me, and that's the lack of USB. I don't consider it very "open source" in a useful sense if it has no limbs/manipulators and no way to connect new equipment.

Still, if it's under $500, I'll probably get one.]]>May 21st 2010 8:23PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/May 21st 2010 11:08AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/http://www.engadget.com/2010/05/21/qbo-the-open-source-robot-gets-detailed-looks-cute/
