Default Cheap Aibo

Well, it's not an Aibo, but the next best thing.

http://www.i-cybie.com

They have them at Kohl's for $40... including tax ($50 - 25%)! I picked up one this weekend. Very cool

It has 1,400 parts, 16 motors and 95 feet of wire in it. It comes with battery, charger and a remote.

It has 4 sound sensors so it can locate noises and follow them. The tricks are pretty cool too. Unlike the Aibo, it recognizes voice commands.

It has a guard-dog mode where it sits and scans for movement. It'll get down on it haunches and growl at interlopers. Quite useful to protect my cubicle door at work.

Oh, and it pees

If you are a robot fan and didn't want to spend the $1,500+ for the Sony, this is a must have.
