Korean Robot Kit

Not too long ago I posted a link to a robotics kit that was very agile. I think the cost was in the $4000 us range. Well here's another robotics kit by a Korean company, and judging from the video (half way down the page) this robot is even more agile and quick than the other kit, all for about $1400 us.

The range of motion that this robot is capable of is even more impressive than Sony's bipedal walking robot.
