MechRC Spheroidz Commercializes Spherical Robots

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Monday, 22 of February , 2010 at 12:44 am

We’ve seen a bunch of different spherical robots within the past year, so it makes sense that somebody decided to turn one into a toy. Unfortunately, rather that doing something interesting or especially clever, MechRC has just stuck a RC car with big wheels inside a bubble. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, seeing as the robot is supposed to cost all of $40. I’d say that it would be cheaper and easier to do as a DIY project, but it probably wouldn’t be, even if you’d likely get better results (or at least more creative ones). Look for Spheroidz in time for Christmas 2010.
