Tech Tools: BeRo

$149

If you’ve longed for the day when you can have your own robot, well you’re time has come. BeRo is an open- source robot with an obliging nature; you can programme it as you please (within reason, of course). The robot is four inches tall and has micro gear boxes allowing its tank tracks to move independently, its head to turn and its arms to move

BeRo links to your Bluetooth 2.0 enabled device and comes with a few tricks out of the box, including the ability to play sound files and dance to the music.
