We have been looking for something that would be just plan fun to have and use. What we found was a company called Desk Pets and they provide little robots which you can play with on your desk when you want to have some fun. The work day is often too stressful and talking the time to have some fun is always important to clear your mind. We so often think of robots as something which is serious, but these are just plain fun. The Tankbot from Desk Pets is a small little robot and can be controlled by an iOS device or selected Android devices. You just have to download an app to your smart phone for those which are supported. Or you can set it in the autonomous mode and sensors on the robot will detect obstacles and avoid them. Create your own maze for it to try and get through.
These little devices plug into the USB port of a computer to charge and then you are on your way to having some fun. There is a universal remote that you attach to your smart phone via the standard head phone jack. That is all there is too it for you to have some fun. If you want to have even more fun, have your friends buy one and then you can have some robot wars.
