What we feel shame is, most of those Robot enthusiasts are not
necessary an engineer of such as Honda but rather ordinary
folk on the street. Still, as they can get most advanced "reliable"
(made in Japan)components, servo motors etc at Akihabara,
and with famous dedication to be an Otaku they can make the
Robot dance------on the end. (if not try again and again)
The mentality and the environment are totally different there.
Even among the pro-spec long tele-photo lens, crisp sharp image is hard to come by, let alone in Zoom system.
Can you expect anything decent image can came out of flimsy plastic, micro-motor driven zoom lens ?
If anybody see this camera, fully extend the lens to longest focal length and try wobble the end of the lens.
You may understand at once, such lens can not keep the center of lens axis nor having sharp focus.
So, what is the point to have fussy image recorded in detailed RAW ? ? ?
Impressive ! ! It must create hundreds of amateur movie maker to
produce pretty dynamic images----- and it can be done with £400 cost ? !
Amazing ! !
I've been using power LED from OSLAM for projection, which got 25W power. Though it generate so much heat. In fact it is a 15W
heat generator. To cool it I needed to mount 2"X2" heat-sink and a cooling fan, end up with the housing more or less same size as a halogen lamp. Since it has much larger aria, OLED may have less heat problem in its element still it warms up the room. (Hot toilet !!)
Efficiency is still not high enough.
I'm not an outsider of the engineering product design. I've been thinking in a way if I were the designer of this project.
Such as where to put motor or battery, how about the folding mechanism etc--- After an hour, I still can't
configure how the folding trick works. And came to the conclusion, this must be a conceptual design model.
And the specs are the design target.
Folding and lock mechanism will be adding lots more weight, thus 22 pounds is even more unrealistic.
( By the way, Vietnam is not using imperial, yard-pound system )
At least, design and concept and model making is impressive. But, the rest seems a communist
propaganda, which rise the national pride.

It seems, this machine only having the movement of up-down, and
left-right inclining of the boots(?). Without having sliding or rotating
movement of left-right, it wouldn't work.
Amazing to see so many heated exchange of comments for a toy
made by a baby toys manufacturer Tomy.
I wonder how old are you folks ? Relax please. Its a joke.
Looks somewhat fancy, for the sake of fanciness. Though, if this is the design
to accommodate more circuit, it will become useless pretty soon, as the integration
of the chips progress and the whole unit shrinks.
I've seen many of this kind of design.
In old days, each manufacturer's lens had their typical character.( seems not now )
That was the reason why some liked Leica and others liked Carl Zeiss.( Contax )
I was using Nikon and Pentax lenses on EOS with the adapters I made myself.
So that, I could compare the lenses on the same film.
To use different manufacturer's lens on the same camera body is not just economical reason.
Oh, what a waste of precious lemon. Why not recycle our own urine.
In its ammonium and salt would do the same business.
Provided, if you can endure the smell and able to deal with blue bottle fly
instead of fruit fly. ( I doubt though fruit fly ever come to citrus )
We may need to sacrifice some comfort to contribute Great cause of Eco' matter.

Any how, the art is an utter wasteful activity, as I know since I do Dorkbot.
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"What is the best wireless surround sound speaker solution? I have a home theater where running wires is just not feasible. I have my own speakers, so I don't want a system that has speakers with integrated wireless. I've done a far amount of research and have only come across a few companies that even offer a reasonable solution: KEF, Kenwood and Rocketfish. Is there anything else out there? What do you recommend? Thank you!"
