Although we've only gotten a glimpse of a TankBot as a render, we were more than interested to see this robot toy doing its thing in the real world. We spotted these tiny desk pals at the International Toy Fair and got to take a look at some working prototypes. As we reported earlier, the TankBots have three functioning modes -- autonomous, maze solving and iOS controlled. The bots feature LED eyes and two infrared transmitters -- that's how it solves the mazes. Charging is done by plugging in the USB dongle found on the rear of the tank and you'll get 15 minutes of battery life after a 30 minute charge. And if you're wondering how your iOS device will play with the TankBots, a free app will be available to download and each toy will come bundled with an infrared dongle. You can grab TankBots from stores for 20 bucks come June. Head past the break to see some cute, yet impressive maze-solving in action.


So basically there's this little tank toy that can either move by itself or that can be controlled by an iPhone. It should be coming out in June for around $20.
I think this thing is siiiick. Slacking off in class has never been so easy. And for only $20, I'm definitely getting one of these.
So what do you guys think? Isn't this like the sickest thing evar?

It's pretty sad that we have to make toys to keep adults busy at their jobs.
If you need one of these it seems you are due for a career change.
