Robot B9 (VIA Gizmodo)
Man, I SO want one of these!! Having grown up watching "Lost In Space" that's just a natural reaction. But I'm just too darned cheap to pony up the $18,000 it would cost to get one. You DO get plenty of kool stuff to justify the purchase price: built-in stereo sound system, an iPod input, a 500 track vocal repertoire featuring the voice of the original actor, a keychain remote allowing you to control the robot, and a functional soil sampler! When you turn it off, the robot cries "aaghhhh..." just like it did on TV! I think I'd rather have one of these than a new car, but trying to explain it to the wife might be a tough conversation!
