I had the opportunity to see the Skitterbot in action last February when I attended the International Toy Fair in NYC. The Skitterbot is a small bug shaped robot that is crazy fast. It can travel at one foot per second. You can control the Skitterbot with the 5 function remote that includes controls for forward, back, left, right, and stop. A retractable USB charger is built into remote and will provide 15 minutes of play
for a 30 minute charging session. Skitterbots come in Red, Blue, Clear, and Green. They are currently available at RadioShack and Toys R’ Us for $19.99. Watch them in action here.

Ugh — anyone who has ever seen a waterbug in the house would never want one of these. Maybe they’re intended for little boys to scare the bejesus out of their sisters…

HAH! That’s the exact reason my son gave me as to why he should get one for Christmas. Little does he know my daughter thinks they’re cute.
@Jerry lol and agreed
