Robotis takes a serious robotics kit, with actuators, grippers, sensors and wheels, and packages it up in a toy like format. The kit itself looks like a big Lego box, but at an MSRP of around $900 for the large one, $350 for the small, is in a completely different league.
The Bioloid kit is a hardcore but accessible robotics workshop, make no mistake there. It comes with a C-like programming language, a GUI, 3D modelling software, and an image recognition workshop for the more advanced sensors. You can program it to respond to distance (IR), sound and light as well as pictures.
Now this is one hardcore kit for the geeks that have graduated from their Lego Mindstorms gear. This kit could definitely occupy a few years of my life.
