“Female” Bot Up For Auction
You now have a chance to bid on one of only two existing FT (Female Type) robots created by Tomotaka Takahashi, father of Chroino, Magdan, and Neon. Designed after studying professional models, the bot has 23 motors and 2 gyroscopes that need bi-annual checkups. FT stands 35cm high, weighs 800g, is controlled by an onboard computer and lithium polymer battery, and is made of carbon and plastic.
