The Robonova's price is below $1,000, but you
only get 16 degrees of freedom, which is the
lowest number for any of the models included in
our survey. Other models at this price point give
one extra degree of freedom, to move the head.

The Robonova's servos are among the weakest
of any robot included in our survey, and they are
almost the slowest.

The Robonova was introduced in late 2005, and
therefore has a very good service length. This
has allowed a sizeable user community to
develop. The Robonova is also very easy to
use, add features, and modify. The software and
instruction manuals are in English, and the
programming language is BASIC, and very easy
to use.

The ease of use, large support community and English software and manuals make this a great robot to start with.
Also, the kit comes with an infrared controller (like your TV remote) included as standard equipment. Check out our
build report here. Or you can try the Robonova-1 for yourself by signing up for a Test Drive or join a Fight. We also
tested how good the walking motions are on this robot in our Human Emulation testing here.
Recommendation: If you are new to humanoid robots, the Robonova is a great starter robot. It is one of the easiest
to get started with and learn. If you are a more experienced user, or if you are looking to seriously enter robot fighting
contests, you probably should look to a more powerful, faster and more expensive model.
