    Someone at Ben's is working late and getting a bit punchy. Good joke.

    Any way to sit this on top of a Roomba? You could make a mint.

    If WooWee products were ever as cool and usable, etc as the company made them out to be, maybe I would consider this for a gift or whatever. But they never have, and I expect this will be very cool for a few minutes.

    Even if they were cool, I can think of a lot more cool things to buy for $300.

    A friend got one from a Radio Shack B&M Clearance in Jan. I played with it. It's a little slow, but the remote operation is cool if you have the space to run it.

    More importantly, I've seen these in at 2 or 3 BJ's stores in NY (bacon and Long Island) for $150.

    I built one of these out of an Atom 330 and a remote control tank, much more fun to build than use.

    Does this thing work like the robot from the American Pie movie where Stifler's little bro was using to spy on the girlies?
