A friend of mine bought one.  He thinks it's rather cute.  The thing
that keeps him from hooking it up to his micro is that it is not
electrically controlled.  The batteries (not inc, as usual) drive
a single motor, and the joy sticks work little rods that engage clutches
and stuff.

He figures you need 12 solenoids to run the thing properly by remote
control but you still have no positional information.
