The Prime-8 is a cute robot from Bossa Nova that can shoot missiles and pound you and your loved ones into submission. It is based on the HREX robot.

Here we see it wandering around then we see Red Whittaker of the CMU Robot Lab – the guy who led the team that built the FastNav project that led to the winning of the X Prize. Then we see it shoot some missiles.

The robot will be available on Amazon for about $100.
