  1. the Ollie is a simple yet genius idea for a robot. It is water proof, and crash proof. You can drive it on any terrain and there is a variety of tricks that it can perform. The coolest thing about this robot though is that the remote is your own cell phone or tablet that you sync directly to Ollie. Colin

  2. The Hexbug Vex Series robots are robots that help to develop early robotics skills, you construct the robot, then you must code it in order to have it perform the actions you want. You can have the options to make the robot go autonomously, or you can control it with a remote control, this robot is mostly used as a toy or an educational tool, depending on how it is used. All of the Vexbug kits are interchangeable. Those Venbug kits include a wide variety of Hexbugs, including the Standbeast, the Hexbug Nano, the HexBug Tarantula, The Hexbug Inchworm, The Hexbug Scarab, The Hexbug Fire Ant, and the Hexbug Battle Spider.

  3. Hexbug Vex series is kind of simple robot toy. I think that it can help kid develop their interesting about robots. Most of designs from bugs and animals, even fishes, they make robot that can stay in water. And their is one interesting style they have is most of the robots they made have more than one form, it support much more interesting.

  5. the nano-falcon helicopter is currently the worlds smallest toy helicopter, it has a 3ch, the controller is also vary small that comes with the toy, on the controller the is a charger on it to charger the helicopter, the charge time is 20 min. and the flight time is 8 min. it moves pretty fast for its size, it turns pretty slow.

  6. The Ollie by Sphero is a shock proof, water-resistant drone that can perform stunts similar to how a skateboarder performs stunts. You can control the Ollie with your smartphone, as it has a built in accelerometer. The Ollie can track airtime, distance, and trick combos. Alex Haston

  7. The Parrot Mindrones Jumping Sumo robot is a toy. It has two wheels to move around and an auto-balance feature to keep it upright. The two wheels allow the robot to make quick turns and spin on an axis. The wheels can be moved (by the operator), so the robot can have increased agility or jumping It can jump up to 80 cm in length and height. There is a spring loaded "kicker" to kick objects out of the way of the robot. It is controlled by a free app, FreeFlight 3, downloaded onto a smart device. The app streams the video feed to the driver, so they can see where the robot is going.

  10. The power up is a paper plane with a controller on the top, we can control it on the phone, many people have the same question, how did it work? The designer said" Actually, the Power Up 3.0 kit consists of a capacitor joined to a propeller by a carbon fiber shaft, that can be attached to a user-supplied folded paper airplane made from regular A4 or 8.5 x 11-inch copier paper. Using an iPhone equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 and Power Up's app, the user can then control the flight-path of that plane." How powerful it is, and it is only sold 50$, come and get one faster!!
