I was lucky enough to spend some time talking to the Robotis home office staff and to examine the Bioloid system up close at the Robo-One competition here in Tokyo. They were exhibiting, not competing. Bioloid looks quite interesting, and will probably appeal a lot to robotics teachers and instructors that have a number of students. The kit allows quick and easy reconfiguration, and it's modular approach is dead- simple. On the other hand, if you are an advanced robot builder or hacker it's closed nature and use of proprietary module and component designs might be frustrating. I've written a short Bioloid review and included a video on my Robots Dreams weblog.
