Let’s face it, when it comes to humanize robots smooth-walking, sleek-talking and obstacle avoidance ability are the most requested features.
But now think again: what’ more human than a robot that’s able to learn your own insults and talk nasty (and we mean nasty) when hitting objects (just like us, by the way)?

Meet the Insultabotz!

The Insultabotz creeps forward with its six insect-like legs and will avoid objects in its way. It can detect objects with its infrared eye and move accordingly, and while it does so, it insults you!

The Insultabotz robot comes with a re-recordable voice chip that allows you to pre-record any message or multiple messages (up to 15 seconds) and Insultabotz will repeat them in sequence every time it comes to an obstacle. Of course, they do not have to be insulting messages-but Insultabotz is not shy about giving you a piece of your own mind.

Warning! Remember that not only can your parents hear what Insultabotz says, they can record messages on Insultabotz as well.
So, listen carefully, the insult you hear may not be your own.

For ages 14 and up.

Batteries (and insults book) not included.

Insultabotz price is now US $ 69.99 (and that’s 30% off the regular price), so you won’t insult your credit card!

Update: Jun 21st it’s Father’s Day! Don’t you dare giving your dad such a threat a gift !

This year you can’t fail!
Your mission for Father Day’s gift is a tough one but we’re here to help you: meet the Tivoli Audio SongBook.

The Tivoli Audio SongBook is a wonderful personal travel radio that you can take anywhere, including on international trips. Although it only has a single 2-1/2-inch mono speaker, it produces a very nice sound, and you can use the stereo headphone jack for private listening.

What is most impressive about this personal radio is its reception. The Tivoli Audio SongBook has advanced filters that isolate the FM signal to produce a very clean sound, and it even has the ability to tune to AM frequencies used abroad. Simply flip the 9k switch to listen to international AM broadcasts (assuming you are within range, of course). There are presets for five stations.

The Tivoli Audio SongBook is water-resistant, which helps protect it from both the weather and from dirt and dust that could harm a personal radio of lesser construction. You can use the SongBook as an alarm clock, as it includes a sleep feature and the option of waking to the radio or an alarm tone. In fact, via the SongBook’s auxiliary input, you can even wake to music from your iPod.

The Tivoli Audio SongBook comes in multiple colors, including yellow, blue, silver, green, white and black. This personal radio uses six AA batteries. There is also an AC plug input for use while traveling, and an AC adapter is included.

Don’t forget that the Tivoli Audio SongBook sports an AUX in (auxiliary input) comes in handy when you want to connect any audio source, especially an iPod!

Price is now an unprecedented US $ 129.00 (and that’s 35% less regular price!)
