We've seen plenty of toy robots at the International Toy Fair (http://www.engadget.com/tag/ToyFair2010/) this week, but none quite have moves like Senario's Zibits. The salt and pepper shaker-sized bots, which will be available for $9.99 a piece at Toys R Us in March, come with a small AA battery powered remote that lets you drive the three wheeled little guy forward, but also spin him around in circles. Apparently these R/C toys are meant for eight to ten years olds, but us really mature adults are itching to buy a couple of these Zibit characters along with some Hexbugs (http://www.engadget.com/2010/02/15/hexbugs-robotic-creatures-are-the-creepy-crawlers-of-the-future/), and stage the ultimate battle of $10 bots. Stop judging us and our Star Wars lunch box and watch the handheld bot in action after the break.
