Ampbot Follows You Around, Delivers Music
Writing by lukeanderson on Wednesday, 25 of June , 2008 at 10:35 am
Have you ever been listening to music in your living room, only to move into another part of your house and realize you can’t hear your tunes very well? Sure, you could walk all the way back and pick up your MP3 player and bring it with you, or just turn on a radio, but who wants to do that when there’s the Ampbot?
Sega-Hasboro has created the Automated Music Personality Robot for the sole purpose of bringing you music wherever you go. Utilizing a Segway-like self-balancing system it can follow you around blasting tunes from the back-mounted MP3 player. The hands are actually a mixing deck, for when you feel your creative juices flowing.
The Ampbot isn’t available until this Fall, and will retail for $745. Don’t forget to stock up on batteries too. This bot is going to need six D and three AAA batteries to keep it running. I’m a bit baffled as to why they wouldn’t’ just use a rechargeable lithium ion battery instead. Changing out all of those batteries will get old quick.

Hmmmmmm Some one might be able to make a killing off of making lithium battery packs for them
depending on how popular it becomes
probably not going to be that popular too expensive.
