Trossen Robotics MechRC Humanoid Robot Now Available [Video: MechRC in Action - Impressive]

Trossen Robotic's MechRC Humanoid Robot, which comes pre-assembled - or
what Trossen Robotic's bill as being as being 'ready-to-walk' - and
which boasts 17 separate servos resulting in the MechRC being capable of
enacting over one hundred pre-loaded actions out of the box, has just
become available in the US.

Trossen Robotics MechRC Humanoid Robot, which, incidentally, has been
'designed by the Transformer artist' - hence its particularly mean looks
- comes with IR remote as well as a USB/Serial communications cable
which allows to you program the MechRC robot via an easy to use
interface utilising filmstrip style sequencing command software which
will also allow you to add sound effects or a soundtrack (to which the
MechRC can strut its stuff) which will be played through a speaker
mounted in MechRC's chest.

You can see the Trossen Robotics MechRC Humanoid Robot in action in the
video below and, we think you'll agree, both its dexterity and its
particularly smooth animation is impressive (I couldn't pull half the
moves featured if I tried).
