Here are the requirements and suggestions that our "client" provided for us:

Robo Sapien style audience should buy this instead; same price point, which means BOM needs
to be like $40 or less.

Transformer-style robot, so that it can stand up, but can also become something fast-moving (major weakness
of Robo Sapien, it's really slow).

Manipulation. Kids love remote-controlling 'bot to manipulate objects, so work in play patterns with manipulation
better than robo sapien

Obstacle avoidance detection wish item- would loe for it not to bang into things.

Back-EMF technology- design interactions taking into account this technology to leapfrog competitors
and enable interactions that are otherwise not possible.

Game-playing and music playing wish list items. We (MGA) have chips for game-playing on television. You plug
robot into TV, then ou can play  video game on TV served by the robot. Also, you plug robot into headphones and
insert like a flash card and it plays Mp3's for you ( Yuval really mentioned this general kind of idea!)

Key questions are interaction- all remote control, teaching autonomy- how much of each; and how to make this unique via (1) transformer and (2) back-emf (how to use these potentialities).
