Should I save money for college or buy a robot?

I have been working a lot lately trying to save money for college. I found this really cool robot that I really want at http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/science/8ff3/ but it costs a lot of money and it would take away from the money I have been saving........what should I do? I REALLY want it.

1. Control yourself and think of the future. What do you really want?
2. why would u want a robot?
3. yeah , buy that robot then just borrow money for college no, seriously, learn electronics, go to swapmeets, buy used parts or robots on ebay, then build one
4. Ummm... Maybe education comes before a toy
5. lol
6. save your money. If it would be a really cool robot, then I'd say buy it, but it does look like one which will bore you to death about 2 weeks after you bought it. Or by that time you will have taken it apart and not manage to put it together again. If you really want to spend money and do something for your education learn how to build your own robot. You'll find you spend enough money for part, but it will be really cool, you will be able to fix it anytime, and you will be able to make it do new things. And you'll find the experience real useful once you start studying engineering.
7. worry about your education and if by some means you can get the money from another source rather than that of your college education, then you should splurge. college is nothing to mess around with. youll be glad you went and after that you can get that robot and something even better from all that money ur making at your awesome job as a college graduate. have a lil self-control now and then after school, you can splurge as much as you want.
8. You should get the robot. WTF is education good for if you don't have a robot?
9. .. step one , see which subject gonna last with you ??? .... the Robot may last 3 to 5 years till you get bored from it .... while the university degree will last till the end of ur life ...... step two, think about the benifits you will gain from both subject!!!! ..... the robot only will cost you money to pay, and may draw a big smile at ur face for a short time ... while the degree, will give you a greater opportunity for u to take better jobs ..... more salary ... more money ........ it will pay you back step three, think of the possibilities of getting those subjects, in a later phase ..... the robot will be cheaper in future .... the degree probably will be more expensive or stay at the same level .. however, borne in your mind that STUDYING TAKE TIME OF YOUR LIFE .... SO ALWAYS FINISH UR STUDIES AS SOON AS POSSIBLE .... AGE IS PRECIOUS
