RC WiFi Spy Robots!

max — Fri, 16 Oct 2009 00:36:07 +0000

Currently, there’s probably these two RC Wifi spy robots which might works the best for securing your home or even great as kid’s toys to beat house boredom.

First up is the Erector Spykee Wifi Spy Robot that can be controlled via WiFi, also doubles as a digital music player. This one is really for the kids as its features are made for that purpose but it does have a cool video surveillance feature which makes it practical for adults too.

The main feature of Erector Spykee Wifi Spy Robot is that it can easily be hooked up to your Skype account so you can monitor your home from abroad.

Perfect for audio-visual surveillance, Spykee has the ability to move, watch, speak, and hear. With a built-in video camera and microphone, the robot takes real-time pictures with video and with sound effects. When motion is detected, Spykee activates an alarm or sends a picture by email. Compatible with Skype 3.0 (PC) technology, Spykee can also be used as a VoIP (Voice over Internet Protocol) phone and web camera. Best of all, this motorized robot is equipped with a WiFi card, which means kids can access and control Spykee via the Internet from anywhere in the world.

Price: $158.73 on Amazon – right now special discount, $299 at Hammacher

The second spy robot featured is the Robotic Sentry from Hammacher and Schlemmer. This one is “built” for securing your home/office perimeters with ability to “roam” around via an internet connection, hence its name “Robotic Sentry”.

Sorta similar to iRobot automated vacuum machines, this Robotic Sentry can also re-charge itself by finding its re-charge base, definitely a feature you need if you are going away to another country for months.

Audio and high-resolution (640 x 480) video are streamed in MPEG4 format, and it can take still pictures and e-mail them to you; it has a two-way microphone and speaker that enable real-time interaction with subjects. Three wheels support its chassis, providing 360° of nimble movement as its camera boom extends to provide a wide field of view while surveying its surroundings. You can set the sentry with up to 10 paths for a customized patrol; it will move along a path, detecting and avoiding obstacles with its infrared sensor, and repeat the sequence until issued new orders. It operates for two hours from its rechargeable battery which draws power from the included recharging base (the sentry can locate its base using its built-in infrared sensor when you command it to re-charge remotely);

Price: $299.95 at Hammacher

Either way, both of these RC Wifi Spy Robots feature the best of today’s technology to offer you best remote, robotic monitoring for your home/office. Surely, these robotic spy robots beat static wifi cameras and DVRs which can’t move around.

GIANT SpongeBob SquarePants!

max — Thu, 01 Oct 2009 13:20:50 +0000

One of my favorite TV shows now is (believe it or not) SpongeBob and SquarePants. Anyways, I was looking for a GIANT SpongeBob Square Pants as I saw one today over at Fishermen’s Wharf in San Francisco.

Amazon offers like 2 different giant SpongeBob SquarePants pillows and 1 Patrick Starfish pillow. (The prices are not bad so these might be super-great gifts for your kids/babies.)

GIANT 18″ SpongeBob SquarePants – $19.99 on Amazon – I like this one best, it’s most authentic looking.

GIANT 26″ SpongeBob SquarePants – $22.34 on Amazon – This one would come in handy when you need to fill up another seat for that carpool lane. :p

GIANT Patrick Starfish – $69.99 on Amazon – Sorta pricey but at hefty 4 pounds, you won’t be disappointed having a HUGE starfish with you when you sleep.

Overall, these are probably the best deals you will find anywhere and your kids will love it if I like it.

I am actually going to order a SpongeBob Square Pants right now, I will have a video review up soon.

You can Now Buy Extra Lives with 1-Up Mushrooms!

max — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 11:15:28 +0000

If you are a hardcore Mario Brothers fan, you might be interested to learn that ThinkGeek is selling the very 1-Up mushrooms so you stay alive in the case of death. (Now, that’s a joke, please don’t go out there and kill yourself plz!)

The instructions are pretty simple. All you do is add potting soil to the green sewer-pipe-shaped flower pot, and push the spores deep into it. Soak the soil with water using the dropper, add a squirt of the food solution, and then it’s off to a dark location for a few weeks. We left ours in the darkest corner of our server room, and broke out our NES to relive some classic Mario memories. Three weeks later, we checked in on it. To our surprise, what you see in the photo above is what greeted us – a perfect 1up mushroom
. Thrilled, we jumped up in the air, punched the ceiling tiles (earning 10 coins), and instantly bought the entire stock of them to offer to you, our friends.

Squirting Dirty Dogs Bath Toy for your Baby/Toddler!

max — Sat, 30 May 2009 00:06:19 +0000

I often see that babies and toddlers love to play with dogs, even if they are toys. These dirty dogs will squirt black “dirt” in cold water while the dirt will turn clear in warm water.

These big, soft squirting doggie toys need to be cleaned at bath time. Each cute puppy’s special magic ink “dirt” disappears when you put it in warm bath water; then reappears as it cools. This set of four includes a mini washcloth to clean up your pup. Phthalate-free. Each dirty dog measures approximately 3″.

Price: $11.95 on Amazon for all 4 dogs

Bubble guns have been popular around the world but now there’s even a better bubble gun that implements LEDs for super-lightning effects at night, the LED Bubble Gun!

CMCKAYVSTMCKAY purchased some super bright white LEDs from us and created one cool RC truck mod. He drilled out holes in the light bar to accept the 5mm White LEDs and also added some in the front of the truck. Have a look at the videos, they show the process that was used to install the LEDs and show how bright they are in the white snow! Nice job! I look forward to see what comes next.

Obama’s new ride may be one of the better-equipped White House has ever made.

In short, it features basically armor-grade parts that will pretty much protect the car even if you bazookaed it or shot machine guns at it.

What I like most about it are the in-car Wifi and Satellite phone, something I would find very useful if I had my own chauffeur.

The only thing that sucks about it is the fact that its top speed is 60mph(must be an error) and the 15 second from 0 to 60mph. (If I were the President, I’d make sure the vehicles goes at least 150mph and under 7 seconds from 0 to 60mph.

Well, I am pretty sure this isn’t everything that’s on the car, they must have at least put some missiles that can shoot at the behind and automated machine guns that pop out from the roof. I hope we don’t have to find out.

Check out this cool DIY replica fighter jet that can actually run at 5MPH. Of course, that’s on the ground only but I wouldn’t mind having one of these in my garage, great for weekend neighborhood showoffs.

Measuring seven metres in length and four metres in width the £4,000 F-35 Lightning II Fighter Jet has been built at a scale of 1:2.

Resembling Tom Cruise’s jet out of Top Gun, it took 3,500 hours to construct the model.

The plane is constructed from iron, wood, hard foam, fibreglass and lots of epoxy filler, comes complete with cameras and monitors inside the cockpit, and is capable of achieving speeds of 5mph on the road.

The plane’s designer, Arthur van Poppel, 49, from Tilburg, Holland, said: “I finished the plane at the beginning of last year.

“I had no drawings to work from, just some pictures and a small plastic Revell model to use as an example.

What I like most about this Sony WiFi Digital Photo Frame is that it can read online RSS Feeds so you can setup your own RSS Feeds from your photos and websites. (For how to add RSS Feeds to your digital photo frame, looky here.)

I really think that the next step in digital picture frame resolution is RSS Feeds that will automate the process of uploading any photos.

With WiFi digital photo frames that can read RSS Feeds (I think most Wi-Fi frames do this now), you no longer need any photo storage space, just a good WiFi connection which most homes have these days.

There are generally two micro-helicopters ( indoor ) in the RC market. I have already planned to buy one of them as they can fly inside the living room and even take off on ours hand. Unlike those operated by gas, these electric helicopters are very clean and give out no terrible noise at all. In one nightfall, I visited a web site, which is about how to make a hand made RC helicopter. I was totally impressed and started designing my own helicopter. Here is my helicopter:

I have to say that even I was surprised how well the dragon version turned out. Three very simple flames and bit of light and magic can really spice up the engraving. And this was the whole point of this project.

It took only minutes to engrave the flames but I have to admit that it took way longer that I expected to get all the taping done, leds mounted and hooked up. On top of all this, it was pain to keep all the layers clean during the assembly.

Again, like the smaller music box, it just plays the white notes, and does not play sharps or flats.

Included is the Music Box, one pre-punched strip which plays Romeo and Juliet, 2 blank strips, and a hole punch, so that you can create your own tunes! The strips are 66 x 7cm.

I’ve been making these [box kites] for few years, and tomorrow I’m getting a bunch of people to make them at gas works park in Seattle. So I figured I would spice up my usual instruction set and put it on flickr.

Solar Powered Dragonfly Robot!

max — Thu, 10 Jul 2008 19:41:18 +0000

If you live in an area with little dragonflies, you might want to consider getting the solar powered dragonfly robot, which is just as good in my mind.

These may like the replicators off of Stargate SG1 but we are assuming that these solar powered robots are totally friendly and apart from the occasional burst of energy when it begins to flap its wings the bug will remain where it has been placed.

This RC stingray has to be one of the most innovative yet disturbing radio controlled toys ever.

Heck, it doesn’t even look like a stingray to me, maybe a badly designed airplane with its wings shoved up its butt.

Mario Toys made out of Sheep’s Wool!

max — Wed, 02 Jul 2008 23:00:54 +0000

Here’s some Mario toys made out of sheep’s wool that can warm your body temperature when you hold them.

Of course, they are not super-friendly to chewing, biting, or anything you are not supposed to do with them. (Yes, that means don’t buy one for your dog/cat)

Specializing in natural dolls and toys, each doll is lovingly hand made of natural materials and are great for imaginative play. The dolls are all double sewn for best quality and are stuffed with 100% sheep’s wool which will retain the body heat of one who holds them close. Have a look at all the different toys available and if there’s something you’d like made special feel free to contact me as custom orders are always welcome.

DIY – How to Make a Pan Tilt Airsoft Gun!

max — Thu, 26 Jun 2008 02:54:18 +0000

Here’s a cool DIY on how to make a pan tilt airsoft gun. You can even buy one here if you want to skip making it yourself.

“The robot airsoft kit brings together a simple pan/tilt servo setup with an automatic airsoft gun. Everything is controlled from your computer’s serial port. Attaching a camera allows you to have completely autonomous control of the gun, which makes it an ideal platform to enter the Defcon Robot Contest or the Robot Airsoft event at RoboGames! Overview

* The base has a servo which controls the pan.
* That connects to the U structure, which is the tilt, and holds all the control electronics.
* The gun is attached to the tilt rod. It’s a generic connection so any light gun will work.
* The pan/tilt is controlled from the computer’s serial port.
* Firing is done through a relay via the servo controller.
* Power comes from 8 AA batteries (4 for the gun, 4 for everything else).”

DIY – How to Build a Skateboard-Windsurfer Thingee!

max — Mon, 23 Jun 2008 22:36:22 +0000

I have always been fond of different windsurfing gadgets people bring to have fun over at Ocean Beach, here’s how to make your own skateboard-turned-windsurf thingee.

If this goes on sand, I might build one.

Here’s my contribution to the movement, a land windsurfer with a 3.6 meter lugsail.

It sails just exactly like a regular windsurfer. Sail tuning is a little different, due to having four corners to adjust rather than the old three. Study up on lugsail tuning.

Cute lego Wall-E huh?

Joe Meno, editor of BrickJournal magazine, built the first well-done model of Pixar’s adorable little robot Wall-E. The creation features moving parts including the neck and arms and rolling treads and took three months to plan.

Rubik’s Cube Alarm Clock!

Rubik’s Cube Alarm Clock forces you to wake up by solving the puzzle. Although not a 100% rubik’s cube, it’s a cool lookin’ alarm clock for your bedroom.

We can’t help but get a little nostalgic when using this 80’s puzzle cube clock!
Just like our fave toy, twist the top row to switch between date, time, alarm, or temperature.

Did you say Lego Batmobile, Batman, and Robin???

max — Tue, 27 May 2008 12:45:04 +0000

That’s right, we said it. Batmobile, Batman, AND Robin is here in LEGO style.

Care to replicate them yourself? Or maybe you can print out the pics and hand them to your kids.

One of his recent creations is this rather spectacular, unbelievably detailed (dig the Bat Phone in the cockpit) ‘66 Batmobile he made for a builder challenge. He even created scale-sized Batman and Robin figures that fit inside. Lego would do well to license this design and sell it, as we’d be at Toys ‘R Us with money in hand.

Czeers MK1 Solar Speed Boat

max — Sun, 25 May 2008 15:25:47 +0000

The Czeers MK1 solar speed boat runs completely on solar power, total of 14 square meters photovoltaic solar cells mounted on all of its top surface.

The solar speed boat is supposedly world’s first solar powered speedboat.

Czeers MK1 comes built with carbon fiber everywhere for light weight and durability.

The boat’s top speed?

The MK1 can go up to 30 knots, an amazing feat for a boat completely powered by the sun with no CO2 gas or any other pollution-causing fumes.

The Czeers MK1 prototype is, as far as its Dutch creators are concerned, the world’s first solar speedboat. The Delft Technical University Solarboat Team built the original platform as an entry in the 2006 Nuon Frisian Solar challenge, which it easily won – and in the process, attracted serious investment power from Rabobank to get a full scale test boat built.

Airrobot Ltd. in Korea, has just started selling RINGO robots in Korea on their online store, Toymart.co.kr, for 290,000 won, equal to about $290 USD. They might ship it to the US if you can pay for shipping…

Lol, maybe I can start selling these on Zedomax.com like hotcakes…

Update: You can pre-order one right now, but you won’t get them till end of this month.

Good thing I can read Korean, here’s some specs:

RINGO robot is basically a riding robot for kids age of 3 to 7 years old. The RINGBO can travel at about 2 to 2.5 kilometers per hour. (Not too bad for a kid’s toy)

The RINGBO features a obstacle-detecting sensors to alert the child in case your kid decides to run into a wall. The RINGBO can also turn full 360 degrees while in idle position.

For dealer information you can contact their headquarters here:

+82 2-558-5155

I don’t know if they speak English but they probably do so… good luck.

Looks like a cool robot I wish I had when i was a kid. It looks like some kids will probably do some bumper-car smashing soon.
