I think it's an interesting machine but not currently on my shopping list. I don't like the silver base on the pieces, it looks like the pieces are sitting on a tin cans. However, a mini robot in each piece possibly makes it quicker for setting up positions compared to Particula's GoChess with 4 robots under the board. But the GoChess robots are bigger and may move faster.

Anyway, as I've backed the GoChess, I don't need another robot machine, and I still have a Novag 2 robot which is very slow in comparison to the these modern robot systems. I must dig the 2 robot out of the closet to see if it still works!
