ROBOT ROLL CALL: BERO!

Sure you get the fortress and the nice cape, but hands-down the best thing about being an evil overlord is the minions. You get to tell other humans what to do. Well, we do that already, but they're required to listen if you're an evil overlord. For those of you still working on your maniacal laughter, pick up a Bero, and it's like you have one tiny minion to try out this whole evil overlord thing.

He's open-source, which means you can do anything you want with him, but like a good minion, he comes pre-programmed to drive around, move his arms and head, play back sound files, dance to music, and react to smart device notifications. He's compatible with any Bluetooth 2.0-enabled smart device, so iPhones, iPads, Android devices, and a Bero app for easier programming exists for both iOS and Android. But if you're the taking-over-the-world kind, you're probably ready to strike out on your own and see what all you can make him do. Go for it. He's your minion. He's here to serve you.

Looks like I got the last one...I went to the site listed by John, it said "in stock" so I purchased one. This morning it says "Out of stock." So either there was a sudden run on these, or I got the last one. I just hope they weren't late in posting the Out of Stock post and I don't end up getting one...I already downloaded the app on my tablet and phone.

Well, I got notice that it was shipped, so I guess I made it under the wire.
