Kyosho Robo Hopper

Now ain’t this something – the Kyosho Robo Hopper that looks more like the Rocketeer than anything else. Of course, he won’t be equipped with a jet pack, but instead relies on a small helicopter mechanism located on its back that lifts him off the ground slowly but surely. The Robo Hopper’s weight of 13 grams go a long way in helping him stay airborne. This will most probably work best indoors, as outside breeze will definitely interfere with your flight session. The Kyosho Robo Hopper will be released in Japan sometime at the end of next month. Which are the most interesting robot toys to you so far? You can check out the video of the Robo Hopper in action here.
