Looking for a Christmas present for my 13 y/o son. He currently spends a lot of time building virtual cities in Minecraft. He has suggested a Microsoft Xbox Kinect, and that is the default right now, but I'm not that enthusiastic. For one thing, the new Xbox will be out in a year.
I'm looking at Hexy the Hexapod, here
Hexy - Open-Source, Low-Cost Hexapod | ArcBotics
Anyone know anything about this? Other, similar, ideas?
