Versatile Build-Your-Own-Robot Kit

Ahh, toys for big kids! Bioloid is an educational robotic construction system that uses special modular servo blocks to create a wide range of creations from a single kit.

The $349 beginner package lets you build 14 robots including a walking droid and clapping penguin. The $899 comprehensive kit ups the number of robots to over 26; example creatures that you're shown how to make include a dinosaur, puppy, spider, snake and humanoid robot.

Both kits ship with a PC serial port to robot controller cable in addition to behavioral control and programming software such as a dedicated motion editor.
