Robotic Junkyard Dog is more than a scrap heap on wheels

I’m all for random, seemingly useless gadgets and the Robotic Junkyard Dog fits right in since it has no real purpose than to entertain and possibly annoy. But that’s okay. It’s a robot dog, after all and there’s something to be said about that, right?

This little robot is seemingly made from scrap parts and can perform a bunch of tricks and various moves, when he wants to, of course. It can cock its head, wag its tail, run around, sit and stand. The robot is affixed with infrared sensors that make it easier for it to react to its surroundings such as obstacles, movement and even steps.

And though this robotic dog can perform tricks like playing dead, it is programmed to malfunction, so it won’t always listen to your commands. Funny stuff, I suppose. You may even find yourself having to enter a code to “reprogram” the dog on occasion. The Robotic Junkyard Dog requires 4-C, 2-AA and 3-AAA batteries and costs $129.95.
