The most expensive robot kit I've ever purchased so far was from RadioShack. It was the Heathits Hero-1 robot with the arm attachment. I built the kit from scratch soldering all the components on each circuit board one by one. HUNDREDS of hours I spent programming that robot it was so cool (for back then) but heavy as hell it was about 2 feet tall and weighed about 45 pounds. It had motion sensors, light sensors, sound sensors you can program it to talk pick things up, watch for movement at night and sound an alarm if it senses movement.
