Robot animals are that perfect blend of cute and cool.

And now, joining the ranks of robot companions is Petoi Nybble, the Cutest Open-Source Bionic Robot Cat. Petoi Nybble is selling for $249 (Reg. $279).
Petoi Nybble is an open-source, highly-programmable robot cat. Nybble can walk, play, and emote. And because Nybble is programmable, it represents many cool things you can do on your own.

You can play with the design of your Nybble and change, improve, or adapt your cat to how you want it to act. Finally, you can make it follow you around like a cute little companion.
The 3D puzzle wooden frame is easy to assemble but still requires attention to detail and patience, perfect for learners young and old.
