[WWW]iCybie is a low cost Robotic Dog, each leg has 3 motors and there are 3 motors to control the head and 1 to control the tail. It has 8 user-programmed voice commands and responds to it's IR remote.

To load user code into the robot, you must either buy a ROM programming kit for $100 or populate the blank board that comes with the Cybie with two Flash chips. For full software development, a serial interface can be added to the robot. If you buy the [WWW]walk-up charger for $70, it comes with a prebuilt ROM card and a 1400mAh battery pack. I have a Super I-Cybie (SIC) that can program ROM carts.

This is an amazing little robot for it's current price of under $100, under $200 for a full software development setup.
