May we suggest you get one?  Just don’t try to fit large fish like Sharks.

Although the dog tracking GPS system from Garmin looks to be unnecessary for tracking dogs, (maybe its main purpose is for hunting dogs) I can recall countless times when I lost my dog in my neighborhood, only to find him 20 minutes, happy after his little lone-trip.

Now, this dog tracking system can be great if you tend to lose your dog a lot.

The Astro GPS Dog Tracking System requires very little configuration straight out of the box, and is extremely simple to use.  Once the transmitter and receiver acquire a GPS signal, the receiver automatically lets users know the location of their dog.  Unlike old radio telemetry collars, the Astro features a dog page that shows the precise direction and distance to a dog – even indicating if it is running, on point, or treeing quarry – and does it all without the annoyance of beeper collars.  Unlike cellular tracking systems, there are no subscriptions or setup fees required to use the device.

Wow, this is kinda nifty robot.  It’s an RC controlled tortoise(or turtle) that does absolutely nothing but go really slow.

R/C Tortoise is a very simple r/c tortoise “bot” with direct control, using a 4 channel radio system.
It uses 4 sub micro servos, and each axis of the transmitter stick controls a servo.

Here’s a cool lookin’ amphibious snake robot that can swim in the water.  It looks scary the potentials of what (harmful stuff) this robot can possibly do.

ACM-R5 is equipped with paddles and passive wheels around the body. To generate propulsive force by undulation, the robot need a resistance property as it glides freely in tangential direction but cannot in normal direction. Due to the paddles and passive wheels, ACM-R5 obtains that character both in water and on ground.

Video after the jump!

Love Dachshund?  Here’s a set of Dachshund salt and pepper shakers to show your passion for your doggies.

Our dachshund shakers bring delight to the dinner table with their unique, elongated design. The dachshund parts pull off for easy filling. Salt and pepper dispense from the “tail” ends. Rubber and stainless steel. 4″ long.

Don’t drink out of the toilet!   This one’s okay though.

“Don’t drink out of the…” Oh well, in this case it’s OK. Our pet water bowl is a real conversation piece-guests will surely be amused when Fido quenches his thirst in the “commode”! It’s easy to use: Just place a filled, 2-liter plastic bottle (not included) into the “tank” and watch as gravity forces fresh water into the “bowl.” Bowl fills as needed.

Here’s a really cool diving knife that injects 850 PSI of compressed gas into your predators whether that’s a Tiger or a Shark, it will freeze them instantly.  Just don’t stick it in humans. (That’d be BBAAADD)

This weapon injects a frozen ball of compressed gas approximately the size of a basketball at 850psi nearly instantly. The effects of this injection will drop many of the world’s largest land predators. The effects of the compressed gas not only cause over-inflation during ascent when used underwater, but also freezes all tissues and organs surrounding the point of injection on land or at sea. When used underwater, the injected gas carries the predator to the surface BEFORE blood is released into the water. Thus giving the diver added protection by diverting other potential predators to the surface.

We used to have lots of gophers on our lawn at my parents house.  I’d buy 10 of these and put them everywhere.  They work but you need a lot of them.  Basically, the Supersonic Mole and Gopher Control Repeller emits sounds that repel moles and gophers from digging your lawn, a lot better than putting than water hose down one of the gopher holes.

Here’s a robot fish fromUniversity of Washington that might just change the way environmental scientists collect data from the sea.

Over the past five years Kristi Morgansen, a University of Washington assistant professor of aeronautics and astronautics, has built three Robofish that communicate with one another underwater. Recently at the International Federation of Automatic Control’s Workshop on Navigation, Guidance and Control of Underwater Vehicles she presented results showing that the robots had successfully completed their first major test. The robots were programmed to either all swim in one direction or all swim in different directions, basic tasks that can provide the building blocks for coordinated group movement.
