White Box 912

some kind of runt mecha

PC Magazine mentions the White Box Robotics 912 robot, running Evolution software.

The 912's chassis looks like a racy version of R2-D2 and comes with a VIA motherboard and customizable software from Evolution Robotics. “The software is capable of speech synthesis, speech recognition, motion sensing, obstacle avoidance, and more,” says Tom Burick, White Box's president.

White Box was previously mentioned here in April.

"Burick estimates that the base price for a robot will be about $800"

I don't suppose that includes the rocket launchers?
