Make: Online : Walkie Bits - Mini Musical Robot Turtles

Walkie Bits - Mini Musical Robot Turtles

Do you need a little robot turtle friend to keep you happy at your desk? I sure do. Walkie Bits are from Japan (of course) and they are tiny little robot turtles that come in all different colors. They crawl around, chirp, and play music if you'd like them to. Link.

They are incredibly cute. We have several of them in different colors, and did a post and video of them for our blog just before Christmas - http://www.robots-dreams.com/2005/12/walkie_bits_tur.html
They are way too small for really young children, but great for kids past the age where they know enough not to stuff them in their mouths. Adults here in Japan have been crazy about them ever since they first hit the market.
