Broken Plot Device

There’s a new robot dinosaur out on the market, but this one looks like he’s much more well-behaved than Robo-Rex.

His name is Kota the Triceratops, and he’s made by Playskool. Not only does he have sensors to tell if he’s being touched or petted, but he apparently is rideable for kids up to 60lbs! He’s pretty cute too. Too bad he’s going to retail for around $300. He also doesn’t walk, which is kind of a bummer.

There;s a video of Kota in action at the Popular Mechanics blog. Here’s the link: http://www.popularmechanics.com/blogs/technology_news/4282393.html.

Thanks Marc for letting me know about this!
