http://cache.gawker.com/assets/images/gizmodo/2009/12/il_430xn.112638579.jpgThis Speaker Bot (http://gizmodo.com/tag/speakerbot/) is a handmade, Etsy-fied robot seemingly designed around one of those little pocket guitar amps. It's maybe not the most technologically advanced iPod dock around, but it's about as cute as robots ever get.
It's a fair-sized sculpture, the only one of its kind, about a foot and a half tall. It seems to be constructed from recycled materials, which gives it a nice weathered look. It also costs $500, which is okay for a unique sculpture but as much as a pretty decent full-sized stereo, so it's probably more for the art crowd than the omg cool robot! crowd.
