RCRC Transforming Robot Car

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Wednesday, 29 of October , 2008 at 4:06 am

RCRC

The few humanoid robots able to transform into cars that we’ve seen (with the exception of this one) have generally been home built sorts of things, not intended for commercial distribution. If you’ve been hankering for something that can both walk and drive (and has blinky lights), the RCRC robot car should be able to fulfill your needs:

The RCRC features both sports car and truck modes, as well as a humanoid mode where it can “spin left and right, performing a dance as its LED lights shine.” That’s a feature, folks. You’ll get 30 solid minutes of joy before its battery goes dead, and then have to find some other way of filling 4 hours while it recharges itself. $89.95, from Hammacher-Schlemmawhatever.

at times it seems to have very little traction… maybe they should do something about it then u’d have a more productive run time…

I found this information earlier today while in the office. Very educational. Sent the website link to myself and will likely bookmark it once I make it home.
