Bored at work? Angry Birds not fun anymore? Then there’s a new toy in town. Desk Pets just released the TankBot. It’s a small tank-like robot, hence TankBot.
It has three features:
1) Autonomous – Uses infrared sensors to avoid objects in its path.
2) Free roaming – Random driving around.
3) Remote – Which uses a free mobile app and a IR adaptor (connected to your headphone jack) to control the TankBot.
It comes in 4 colors which runs on different frequencies. Great for the office drag race. Only downside is that the internal rechargeable batteries only lasts 15 minutes at a time. Good news is that it has a flip down USB port that you can plug into your computer to charge it. When your boss questions what it is then you can always say it’s a thumb drive!
I can’t find the exact pricing on this but it seems to fall around $25.
