Has anyone else seen this creation from Meccano that is being launched next month? I've been researching the cheap humanoid market and this caught my eye. It has some potential for some serious social robotics projects. Although it lacks manipulators and is limited to flat smooth surfaces. Anyone any thoughts on this?

 :) Hello!
ANY  robot is cool!  8)
It has some big eyes!  :o  The better to see you with!
I will be interesting to see how the knew bend, with it
moving with tracks on the feet. It seems to be in the neighborhood
of 4 feet tall. Small frame would indicate weight bearing is low, so it
fall into the category of office assistance. May be able to assemble simple items
in an ergonomic station. Potential is there!!   ;D
