The Daleks from Doctor Who may be iconic, but take them out into the street and you’re not likely to see children and grown adults alike cuddling them, snuffling their little noses and generally coo’ing like crazed doves. For that, you seemingly need one of Ugobe’s Pleo robot dinosaurs.

In case you didn’t know, the Ford GT is a fast car. We’re not talking Mustang fast, it’s in a whole different league. Most of the time when you see an RC replica of a fast car, it really goes pretty slow. However, this replica is fast enough to be driven on most highways.
Do you frequently get inspired with an idea or something of that nature but never have a pen or paper to write it down on and know you’ll never remember it? Well this probably won’t help, but it’s a pen (that you’ll probably lose) that you can use to write on any surface, and it [...]
I have seen a lot of things with LEDs built into them, belt buckles, dog tags, even name tags (like the “Hello my name is” ones). But building that same tech directly into a t-shirt is a new one.
Sure enough it’s been don’t though, and so long as you fit into a shirt ranging from [...]
Mark James made these Cardboy CMYK ink cartridges that appear to have legs, arms, and eyes. That’s because they aren’t really ink cartridges, they are just little figurines that look like it.
For the nerd that gets cubicle-sick. Not really, they are pretty cool looking though.
Mainly because they have frickin’ lasers. So, laser tag is fun. Flying RC helicopters is fun.
Combining the two with RC helicopters that shoot, and receive, laser beams just like laser tag, well that’s Head-Explodingly fun. The fun is only compounded by the fact that a laser hit makes the copter spin out of control and [...]
Over the past couple of days, RobotsRule’s Robert Oschler - long-time tipster of all things servo-actuated - has been dancing a taunting dance before my jealous eyes, and crowing about having received his TOMY i-SOBOT robot. I’m surprised to report that I’ve kept my cool, and instead drowned my sorrows in the new English version [...]
I love pretty much everything that is Star Wars. Except Jar Jar Binks of course, but I don’t think anyone really likes him. I also have a love for LEGO’s. In fact, I still have my childhood collection in my closet. Naturally, my favorite sets are those that feature some of the famous ships from [...]
Obviously they aren’t full out houses, but more along the lines of a play house, but its still cool. I remember back in the day when they still showed good cartoons, like Foghorn Leghorn, Roadrunner, Woody the Woodpecker, Porky the Pig, and so many more of the classics, they really were great.
Well now you can [...]
It’s a wall climbing robot. It has some sort of vacuum suction system on it that allows it to cling to walls like Spiderman.
For some reason I am doubtful of its ability to navigate in one direction or the other, likely it’s just up and down the wall with no left or right movement. Plus [...]
