Newest Fads

Post by Turqoizyoshi »

Ok, people! Time to post your newest fads, ideas for fads, and other stuff like that. For me, my newest fad is hex bug. They are robotic insects that run around, react to things like light, touch, and sound! :wiz
anyway, GO!

yeah i've never heard of those, but those are an obvious marketing of the original bristle bot made by evil mad scientist laboratories.

I've made the bristle bots with toothbrush heads with my students in my physics class, its way fun...

If youre interested in small solar robots do a quick search for "BEAM robots", you'll find some interesting stuff.
