Special Comments:
In it's day, robots like this one were common.  This robot was made with arms that were longer than it's body so when the arms rotated, it moved forward.  The arms would roll the whole body of the robot into a summersault.  It would then land back on it's wheel to roll around and repeat the cycle all over again.  Simple, yet fun considering I don't see these anymore.
