NOTE:  These robots are not meant for children.  All of the humanoid robot models discussed on this website use
powerful servos that can pinch or even crush your fingers if you are not careful.  Consult the recommended minimum
age from the manufacturer before allowing children to use any of these robots.

The RB-1000 is currently not available in the US.
Even if you buy it in Europe or Asia, the US dollar
equivalent price for this robot is on the high side,  
but you get 19 degrees of freedom, which
accounts for most of the increased price.
The RB-1000 is in the middle of the pack for
torque power, but it is tied with the Futaba RBT-1
for the fastest servos.
While the RB-1000 has been available outside
the US since late 2005, it is still not available
here in the US.  So even though you can find
English software and documentation, you may
have a tough time finding other English speaking
users for support.
The RB-1000 comes with a dual axis attitude sensor as standard equipment.  Other than that, it is hard to get excited
about this robot since it is not available in the US.

Recommendation:  Unless you are planning to travel to Europe or Japan, you will have a tough time finding this
robot.  Due to the lack of English speaking support community, this robot is not recommended for beginners.
