[Erik] Sent in this modular robot video. It’s not as mentally disturbing as the snake robots we featured before, but it’s still pretty cool. It looks like it’s using M-TRAN modules. Details are completely lacking, so if you’ve got some, share ’em.

It’s like a Rubik’s Cube, but mechanically automatic. It’s still pretty cool, nonetheless.

Looks like the new versions have a mechanical lock as opposed to the magnetic version shown in this video. Also, from what I can see on the site, they can be controlled either from ir, or bluetooth.
Whoa, It’s like that bot that killed Walter in ‘demon seed’.
