Skateboarding AIBO

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the good-thing-i'm-a-cat-person dept.

psyconaut writes "Sony continues it's line of robotic pets with a new accessory: a $249 skateboard! Why on earth you'd actually want your AIBO to zoom around on a skateboard is another question. The U.S. AIBO site has it here, but the thing looks more impressive on the Japanase AIBO site. Other new AIBO products also seem to include, FINALLY, a self charging station so AIBO can feed himself."

    Cause, really, nothing says "I'm a counter culture rebel, fighting the establishment" like an Aibo on a skateboard.

      Counter culture rebel AIBO comes with a laptop, a grande Caramel Machiato, and mom's credit card.

      Batteries not included.

    Why on earth you'd actually want your AIBO to zoom around on a skateboard is another question.

    So it can finally chase cars, of course!

    The only problem is the reaction of irate motorists being chased by an annoying, skateboarding robot-dog. Once they overcame their initial surprise, could they resist the temptation to brake and reverse?

    ....till people start making trojans for AIBO's and use them to attack people. :)

      I didn't know the AIBO could reproduce. Can they? Did they get that upgrade?
