The sign to the right of the robot indicates it’s on sale for half price – the original store price was somewhere north of USD $5,000 and they probably weren’t getting many takers. The show attendees tended to come right up to the robot, pat it on the head just as if it was a real cat, and some people were actually discussing a purchase with the salesman.
