INSUBCONTINENT EXCLUSIVE:
Pilot Labs& Zeus Battle Robot captured our hearts at CES back in January, because, well, just look at this crazy thing:
Seemingly against
all odds, the ‘bot is now available for purchase through Amazon
And the price tag is as insane as the rest of it: $1,600 for the kit and $1,700 for a pre-assembled version
That price includes a wireless controller, battery, charger, case and the robot, naturally
There are also a bunch of design files for further customizing it
The Zeus stands 14-inches, weighs just under five pounds and sports 22 motors
We were pretty impressed by the demo we got at CES, though that model hit a bit of a snag, after battling it out all day
You can see in the video that it got a bit of a wonky arm thing going on
Hopefully the shipping version has those snags worked out.
The battery should get up to 50 minutes of fight time on a charge
Pilot says it already working on future versions with AI, computer vision and, potentially, Alexa voice control
It also plans to sponsor &an international fighting Robot contest with big cash prizes,& so maybe you can win back some the arm and leg that
