They sell that robot with six-packs of coke in HongKong. Reminds me of something.

It's a buddhist symbol for peace.

The swastica, when reversed from what is on that plastic toy, is a good luck symbol in many cultures. The way it is presented on that toy is the Nazi version.

That is a Nazi robot.

link It looks almost like the Nazi one, but I think it might just be due to the manufacturing process.

One of the most popular news magazines in Europe; it is pretty much like Newsweek or Time over here.

Long before the Nazi's took that as there symbol it was a religious symbol used in the far east.

It's a shame that a religious symbol is now forever tainted by it's use by the Nazi's

I know the Hindu symbol is similar to the Nazi one except it points in the other direction.

I remember my grand ma would draw that on the floor every morning along with other religious symbols (called rangoli).

It's more Robocon's fault than Coke's, although both companies are stupid for letting this thing get produced.
