Good product but unless you have 4 rechargeable 'C' batteries and a charger able to charge 'C' batteries you better add £15 to the price. There is no excuse for a product costing £60 not to have an internal Li-poly battery. But hey, I guess it saves the manufactures a few pence per robot at our expense. Annoying.
