14 DAY TRIAL // Don't try to play this robot for a sucker. KHR-2HV is an exciting new robot that was designed by Kondo Kagaku Co. LTD, Japanes based company, of course. It is 34 cm tall and weighs approximately 1.2 kg. It can play soccer, fight with other bots and also dance.
Hell, it can even do back and forward somersaults, push ups and step climbs. One thing it won't do is hit the soccer ball with the head though. Only smart europeans can do that (ahem)!
The robot is driven by 17 servos that give the robot its mobility: 5 in each leg, 3 in each arm, and 1 for its head. Needless to say that it also comes with optional built-in missiles to kill robots from the oponnent soccer team and also small nuclear reactor to power your PC in case you have a power cut or something. That's not true, but you can hook it to your PC via USB in order to select the category of moves it will perform. You can also dress it to make it look more stylish (it's deffinitely targeted at girls). If you want it, you can get this Ho'Bot with $890.
Here comes the real news. New KHR-2HV clothes are ripe and ready to hit stores. So, if you want to make other tiny playful robots envy it, dress it up for the Kondo Cup with cool European soccer T-shirts. Kondo is also selling a shiny polycarbonate carapace that makes him look much tougher than his previous hard metal skin. The pretty clothes will sell for $150.
