Bobot is a classic wind-up toy.

Bobot is a rollerskating bot.

Skating Instructions:

Trim up to wind-up the toy.
Throttle up to around 45% to kick off. (faster throttle for pros.)
Use left and right roll to skate. (L-R-L-R-etc.)
Use pitch for balance. (and for nodding)
If you fall over, hit brake and wait to stabilize.

The wobbly springs at knees and elbows are wobbly on purpose, cause I find it funny.
