Wall-E Room Tidying Pickup Robot

This is the robot that picks up objects at your command and loads them onto its cargo bed, emptying contents at your preferred location (Play Video). The remote drives the robot left, right, forward, and backward–with skidding sounds for stops and beeps when in reverse–allowing you to nudge it into place for picking up small, 1 oz. items such as balls, toys, or socks with its two articulated arms and hands.

It can also operate autonomously using its four infrared “eyes” that seek and detect objects within its 8 – 12″ sight range while it announces “Let’s get to work!” Once an object is secured, the robot’s torso pivots to deposit an object into its cargo bay; it dumps contents by vibrating to dislodge objects from the bay, adding “one step closer to a cleaner world.” Completely aware of its environment, it informs you when an object is either too large or fixed with “too heavy for me” and “uh… a little help, please” if it gets stuck.

Hypnotic Illumicube

This clear acrylic cube is filled with 64 multi-colored LEDs that systematically illuminate in 500,000 different combinations, producing a mesmerizing light show. Each LED generates 1,000 different colors and they illuminate in unison or in succession with the same or contrasting colors, creating a continuous cycle of visually captivating light patterns.

All 64 LEDs may emit a vibrant crimson hue and then slowly fade to magenta, each row may illuminate in succession to create waves of rolling light, or the LEDs may light-up one at a time to produce a flaring, twirling light streak.

Is your Dog on Twitter? – Introducing The Canine Twitterer

This is the tag that lets a canine share its hijinks and innermost musings with all its followers on Twitter. A motion sensor and microphone in the tag interprets your pet’s activity (or lack thereof) and selects an appropriate canine-centric message from one of 500 pre-loaded tweets.

Tweets are sent from the tag to a USB receiver plugged into your computer up to 100′ away that automatically posts them to the Twitter account you’ve set up for your dog. Messages such as “It might look like I’m just sleeping, but I’m also working on my tan” or “Having my daily workout. Already did 15 leg lifts!” entertain dog lovers while lifting the veil on how a dog passes its time.

Xistera 150 Foot Slinging Snowball Launcher

Providing an unexpected tactical advantage on the winter battlefield, this is the slinger that can hurl snowballs up to 150′. Shaped like the xistera used in jai alai–the curved basket used to launch the sport’s ball–the slinger’s curved trough propels snowballs with plenty of momentum to reach targets normally out of a throw’s range.

Have Fun with TSA

Bringing much needed levity to the stressed out airplane passenger is this website, Fun with TSA. The website suggests a few things that you, the downtrodden traveler, can do to stick it to the man and have a bit of fun. For example:

Be the person on your flight to suddenly shout out “Marco!” during that last hour when others are looking for things to do. It might take a few tries, but eventually someone somewhere on the plane will respond with a “Polo!” if for no other reason than to shut you up. Entertainment achieved.

But if you get into trouble, we don’t know each other, mmmkay? via
