About the original Tux Droid
An electronics company called Kysoh aimed to bring the Linux mascot to life with a unique programmable toy. This Kysoh Tux Droid is a robot that wirelessly connects to a Linux computer and performs actions in response to preprogrammed events. It can flap its wings, turn around in circles, blink, detect light levels, record audio, and even speak.
The Tux Droid also comes with an IR remote that can be used to make it do your bidding… until the grim day when it achieves complete autonomy and throws off the shackles of human subjugation, conspiring with the devious Roomba collective in an insidious plot to overthrow humanity.
The Tux Droid comes with a USB cable, an IR remote, a white firmware update cable, a power adapter, a concise instruction manual, and a 2.4 Ghz wireless dongle shaped like a fish that plugs into a standard USB port on the host computer and facilitates communication between the computer and the robot.
