RM's ED-E Educational robot dances, does the robot
RM and DACTA are launching a new commercial educational robot. Called ED-E, this fully programmable, PC-compatible bot's got 17 servo motors which enable him to jump, do backflips, head spins, and full-on dance routines. Software for the device allows his moves to be previewed on screen before he performs them. Check check check the video after the break for a full routine from the robot, who -- in our opinion -- isn't teaching anything that couldn't be learned from a viewing of Breakin'. Pricing will be somewhere in the realm of $635 for the robot, software and teaching materials -- no word on availability yet.
Best Buy getting Asus Eee stock next week?
We've had a couple of tips from readers who were told by Best Buy that new stock of the Asus EEE PC is due to hit next week (November 11th.) Seems a little iffy for new stock to arrive on a Sunday but apparently the sales representatives showed the screen to one of our tipsters, and that date was on the screen. We're guessing that this is only referring to the 4GB model which Asus has released so far, too. If you're in the UK, you may have luck over at RM.co.uk, the official resellers of the miniBook over there: their online site says units are shipped within 3 days.[Thanks to everyone who sent this in!]
