World's First Specialty Robot Store Opening In Japan

Mark the month of October 2006 in your calendar of the apocalypse folks. Some bright-spark in Japan thought it'd be just swell to bring 1,000 of the world's robots together under the guise of the world's first robot store and museum. Let's hope they do not manage to generate new control codes on their own and wake up one night to terrorise the neighbourhood!

Opening in Nagoya, 4th largest city in Japan, the futuristic retail complex features the Nuvo, a 35 cm tall, USD$5,000 robot which is controlled by remote or cell phone. If you are going there, send me some pictures so I can put them up!
