Kota Robot Baby Dino For Sale On Amazon

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 8 of October , 2008 at 3:29 am

Kota

Pleo is very cute, but it’s also very small. Too small to effectively ride around pretending you’re a Cretaceous cowboy. If this has been a fantasy of yours (and don’t lie, it totally has been) Amazon has a whole herd of Hasbro’s Kota robotic baby dinosaurs ready to anesthetize, crate, and ship directly to you and your ages 3 & up year old, who will love you (through their new pet dinosaur, anyway) forever.

Although Kota is certainly more dino-sized (he’s 2.5 feet tall, over 3 feet long, and weighs around 35 pounds) than Pleo, the two have rather a lot in common, including motion sensors, touch sensors, moving heads, adorable blinking eyes, and the exact same leafy snack. Unlike Pleo, Koda is sadly unable to walk on his own, but he is able to stand there and make stomping noises while you your kids bounce on his spring-loaded back. Just arm Kota with some laser cannons or something, and maybe he’ll be able to take some long-overdue revenge on a certain ComBot…

Kota is on Amazon.com for $299, and shipping is free.

Three hundred bucks, wow! Thanks for the tip BotJunkie. I better warn my readers before Kota’s ads hit TV!

some motion sensors are very expensive, specially those that are rated for industrial use ;;

The one thing i prefer around your blog site is basically that you often submit one on one to the point advice.

My husband and i got now comfortable Ervin managed to do his research through the ideas he obtained from your weblog. It’s not at all simplistic to just be giving away helpful tips which the others could have been selling. And we also take into account we have got the blog owner to give thanks to because of that. The type of explanations you made, the easy web site navigation, the relationships you give support to create – it is everything powerful, and it’s making our son in addition to us imagine that the subject is pleasurable, which is incredibly essential. Thank you for the whole lot!
