LEGO Introduces Smartphone-Controlled Robots

Designed to be up and running within 20 minutes of opening the box, the high-tech robot can be programmed without the use of a computer.



The kit includes 594 parts that can be used to construct five different robots—including a menacing snake and a stinging scorpion.



12 more configurations are expected to be unveiled during the official 2013 summer launch—take a first look at this cutting-edge robot below:
