==Overview== The toy is capable of a walking motion without recourse to wheels within its feet. It can grasp objects with either of its hands, and throw grasped objects. It has a small loudspeaker unit, which can broadcast several different vocalizations. The robot uses seven motors, and maintains balance by using "two triangles", one inverted above the over. As the lower part of the body leans to one side, balance is maintained by titling the upper half to match.
