Huzzah! New Hexbugs! Hexbug Ant and Hexbug Inchworm!
There's a new Hexbug in town. Not the original, not the crab… the ant! This robot is six cm long and has wheel legs for faster movement. This little bugger moves ten times faster than any of the other Hexbugs. They also have a front and back sensor so that they can navigate more easily. These things are awesome! BTW, I forgot to post about the Hexbug inchworms. These are the only hexbugs that can be remote controlled, therefore they're a more …
Read MoreRC Jet Plane: Estes Viper
The Estes Viper RC plane works on a revolutionary technology. The Viper's remote controller is motion sensing. So if you tilt it right, the Estes Viper plane goes right. Tilt it left and the rc jet plane goes left. Pretty cool, but I don't know how responsive it is. I question it because it got some bad reviews on Amazon. Still, it's a new technology, so there's gonna be some bumps in the road. Still pretty cool and around 15 dollars too. …

Read MoreDesktop Toy: The Solar Cyclist
This Solar Cyclist gadget consists of a lamp with a stickman bicycle rider on it (a no-lamp version also available). This is pretty cool because the cyclist is powered half by electricity, and half by solar power. When you flip the lamp on, the cyclist starts pedaling. Pretty awesome office toy, right? If you like this article, please share it on Facebook, Twitter, Digg, StumbleUpon, or del.icio.ous. I'd really appreciate it!
Read MoreHitman Electronic Attack
This gadget is a little plastic hitman that is motion activated. When the sensor is triggered, his arm raises and he open fires with his little LED flashing and impossibly loud gun shot sounds going off. Put this guy in a cabinet and give someone a heart attack (only kidding!). Lots of Fun. Only 19.99. Yeesh, that's expensive. It's still awesome though. Oh yeah, he also has five gangster phrases he yells as he shoots.
