Fantastic - Thanks for the link! Do you own one?
The Phantom robot really moves quickly doensn't it - I suppose that's the
advantage of dedicated engineering over Lego.
After a quick web search (and lots of Andrew Lloyd Webber references) I
found one for sale in good condition for US$1000. Hideously expensive, but
tempting - maybe a good investment too: I can't imagine they sold many, so
probably very collectable.
