Say ahoy to MANOI, the freaky-cool kit robot
July 12th, 2006

Kyosho is selling its 1/5th scale MANOI AT01 “athelete humanoid” robot in kit form. But you’d better act quickly — there are only 50 available, and entry for a drawing to win one closes July 31.

The MANOI is one cool-looking bot, and he’d better be at ¥147,000. You can get a closer look at what the 340mm tall, 1.4kg dude is all about here. He should be on his way to winners by the end of August.
