Already assembled and equipped, the Futaba robot needs only one more component to be complete: You to give the orders. You'll use the included, game-style controller to execute pre-programmed routines or those you program yourself with the supplied Motion Editor for your Windows® PC. The robot's 20 servos – four more than similar 'bots – are directed by FASST 2.4GHz radio signals rather than "TV remote" IR technology. The electronics for its flexible 16-channel operation (and a rechargeable, high-capacity, 7.4V Lithium Polymer battery) are located in the torso for easy access. LED "eyes" add to the humanoid appearance – and a self-righting function makes sure Futaba's robot never lays down on the job.
