Kondo Introduces Robot Turtle

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Thursday, 15 of July , 2010 at 12:03 am

Kondo is releasing a new series of hobby robot kits based on animals, and the first one of the bunch is this cute little turtle. He’s got four legs with two servos each plus a movable head, with his batteries and circuit board packed up neatly inside his shell. It’s not a complicated kit, and Kondo seems to be hoping that people will use it as a base to build onto using additional bolt-on Kondo brackets and servos (sold separately, of course).

The kit goes on sale today in Japan for about $450 USD.
