BeatBots: Mutant dancing peeps?

This has seriously got to be the coolest robot ive seen for a long time.

Looking at it, would you say Im full of it if I said it can totally out-dance you and most of the people you know? The robot, Keepon, has no arms or legs, but still manages to look damn good on the dance floor.

Using its two squishy semi-spheres, it bounces, twists, turns, and stretches its way around while listening to any music it can detect a beat from. Once it detects a beat, it matches its movements to the timing of the song perfectly. It actually looks so good you would think it was preprogrammed. And not to mention its so cute it makes you wanna puke, ha.

Go to the page and play the video, making sure you watch the 'Keepon dancing to Spoon' video. (Its one of 2 buttons at the bottom of the video player)

But theres still one question. If you put it in the microwave, would it do the same thing the peeps do?
