The holidays are just around the corner, and that can mean only one thing: it’s time to celebrate and reflect upon what robots you’re going to get this year. This guide, with 17 suggestions for all ages, interests, and pockets, is by no means exhaustive. There are tons of great robots out there. But we’re limiting ourselves to things that you can plausibly purchase right now, which means that things like Kickstarter are out of the running. With this year’s selection, we tried to cover three main areas: drones, robotic kits, and home robots. Our list includes new products released in 2015 but also robots from previous years that we still like (check out more ideas from our 2014 and 2013 guides). We tested many of these products ourselves, and we plan to post in-depth reviews sometime soon. And while we provide links to places where you can buy these items, we’re not endorsing any in particular, and a little bit of searching may result in better deals (all prices are in U.S. dollars).

It is sad that I find myself wanting to rob a bank to buy some of these robots lol.

There's certainly a lot to choose from - that Darwin-Mini looks cool.
