Monthly Round-Up - January 2009

We can't believe that January is over already. Here's hoping that iRobot will create a Roomba that sucks up snow before next year. In the mean time, check through our round-up that includes lots of robotic art, DIY, toys, and some movie and TV robots as well. And if you haven't read it yet, catch our interview with master builder Jaimie Mantzel. Lots more coming in February and, as always, thanks for reading!
