The RoboPhilo is one of the cheapest robots in
our survey, but you get a whopping 20 DOF. In
addition to head movements and hip rotation, the
torso twists as well. This level of motion is
unprecedented for such an inexpensive robot.

The only way to keep the price down was to
sacrifice servo performance. The RoboPhilo has
the second weakest, and fourth slowest servos in
our survey.

The RoboPhilo was released in late 2007 so a
user community is just starting to form. There
have been a few bumps in the road with the
launch, which is not surprising.

The main draw of the RoboPhilo is the low price. This robot serves as an excellent entry point into the world of
robotics for anyone on a budget. The I-Sobot may be cheaper, but the RoboPhilo allows the user more options to
create new motions and add sensors or cameras. Be warned though, RoboPhilo does not have the power or speed to
fight in a RoboOne style battle with other robots.
Recommendation: This robot is perfect for beginners, or anyone on a tight budget. If you are not sure if robotics is
for you, and you want to try it out with limited investment, RoboPhilo could be the right choice. You could buy two
RoboPhilos for the same price as another robot in our survey. But remember, you get what you pay for, the servos will
be slower and less powerful than other robots.
