Yeah - at $4500 plus $380 for the PC interface, it *ought* to be good!
But really - it looks like you can only build just that one robot
with it - and it appears to have no sensors whatever - so in many
respects, it's not as good as Mindstorms.
Without sensors, you can't really do much more than pre-record some
kind of activity and have it mindlessly do that one thing.
Having said that though - it's amazingly agile. It's impressive to
see it being able to stand up from lying on it's front or it's back,
do handstands, etc, etc.
