MechRC Monkey Robot

The Toy Fair 2010 this year seemed to be short in robot toys, but it had some good surprises up its sleeve. Jim Wyatt of MechRC has announced that his monkey robot will be available for sale this summer. The little monkey robot can be carried over the shoulderlike a companion and interacts with people. Priced ridiculously at just 20 dollars, it is controlled by a remote that you can discretely put in your pocket and comes with 16 pre-programmed movements.
