The google link also has another vid showing a battery of them shooting off.
A little underpowered though. I'd like to aim some at our counterparts in the Sydney office

Sorry Ving! 
They do look SO cool, though I read a review a couple of weeks ago on a very geeky-young-techy site where they had one of these, and a robo-reptile on the desk at the same time playing desk warfare.
Apparently the missile launcher has had premature failure - ony 1 missile launches now and it's lost either hor or vert movement, I can't remember which.
Such a shame - I'm STILL tempted to get one.

Too expensive???? Then why not DIY???
That's right, build your own office weaponry... http://www.instructables.com/id/E9N3...7NKS/?ALLSTEPS
And while you're there you should check around their website a bit.... you'll find some really cool DIY projects. I'm building the bench toolbox so I can have a woodworking bench and keep the missus happy... all at the same time.
