This model was inspired by the real model iDog which was created by Sega as a novelty robot toy dog for an MP3 Player. The iDog reacts to music from an MP3 player and features a number of flashing LED lights in its face and will ‘dance’ to the beat of the music. The iDog began shipping in early 2005.

Lets begin by looking at the finished model
