UPDATE: The site mentioned in this article is now officially closed as of May 10, 2010.  The details can be seen on our post about Trossen Robotics closing their sister site.

Seems like there are ever more robotics toys sites popping up.

If you are looking for toy-inspired robots you should hop on over to roboticstoys.com (Yes, that name looks familiar!) They opened their “doors” on February 1st (That’s today!!!) and have a special free bonus for the first people to order from their site.

They have a lot more toy-based robots, simpler kits and fun gift ideas too. These are perfect for younger kids and those that don’t want to assemble anything, but need a quick start.

Check them out and you may still be able to get free stuff, if you hurry!

We are excited to introduce a robotics project gallery this year.

Everyone is invited to submit their robot projects to the gallery for display and to show off to your friends what you’ve been working so hard on.

More information coming in the next couple of days…
