			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I apologize to anyone who has seen <em>Revenge of the Fallen</em> and liked it, but personally I think I got ripped off on that one. My sentiments &#8211; and then some &#8211; have been <a href="http://www.toplessrobot.com/2009/06/bonus_robs_transformers_2_faqs.php?page=1">represented elsewhere</a>, so I&#8217;ll just leave it at that. So let&#8217;s look at here&#8217;s <a href="http://www.lynxmotion.com/Category.aspx?CategoryID=91">Robonova</a> instead. Robonova is a programmable, fully articulating 12-in robot powered by 16 digital servos. He can walk, run, dance and even do cartwheels.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-16123" src="http://technabob.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2009/07/robonova.jpg" alt="robonova" width="600" height="450" title="robonova photo" /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.lynxmotion.com/">Lynxmotion</a>, the company behind Robonova, is planning to produce a variety of accessories for the robot, such as a Bluetooth controller, gyros and even speech synthesis modules. Here&#8217;s a video of Robonova &#8220;practicing&#8221; martial arts routines:</p>

<p>And here&#8217;s a Robonova painted to look like Optimus Prime, amusing a group of movie goers. Unlike the Prime in the movie, who might as well be called <em>The Fallen</em> himself. Fallen from grace that is.</p>

<p>You can buy your own <a href="http://www.lynxmotion.com/Product.aspx?productID=452&amp;CategoryID=91">Robonova kit</a> for $900 USD at Lynxmotion. It will take you approximately 6 to 8 hours to assemble the robot, so if you think you won&#8217;t be able to do that, you can buy the <a href="http://www.lynxmotion.com/Product.aspx?productID=453&amp;CategoryID=91">Ready-to-Walk version</a> for $1,050. That may seem expensive, until you realize that it took $200 million to <span style="text-decoration: line-through;">excrete</span> create <em>Revenge of the Fallen</em>.</p>
