How to build your own 3D Printed Humanoid Robot for less than 1,000.00 USD

Why wait for May 2014 for Jimmy when you can have a 3d printed humanoid robot now?

Below is a picture of Jimmy to see what he may look like?

If you look at the picture below you can see my 3d printed DARwIn-OP  Robby on the left next to Jimmy for size comparison.  Robby is 45.5 cm tall and weights about 2.9 kg.

Below is a picture of Robby wanting to play with Jimmy but that may not be until May, 2014?
