Hako Robo: robots, cubes and families

The Hako Robo (Robots-in-a-cube) are not just cute little cubes you can line up on your desk. They move around in relation to each other, either towards each other or away from each other. They also get exhausted if they spend too much time together, like any real family. As the Hako Robo page is in Japanese, I can’t tell if their attraction and repulsion is done with magnets or with annoying behavior. [GT]
