BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm

BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm

All killer robots have to start somewhere. What will eventually one day be a muscle made of BioMetal Fiber capable of lifting humans into the air and crushing their skulls with one arm must have a beginning. And that beginning is the BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm.We love this little walker; read on to find out why!

Each BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm has one strand of BioMetal Fiber. When current is applied, the fiber heats up and contracts. This pulls the Inchworm's feet apart. When the current is stopped, the fiber cools and expands. Add a little grippy fabric on the bottom of each foot and the spring to return it to its original position, and you can easily see how the little inchworm can walk along most non-slick surfaces. The BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm is a great desktop toy, but it could also be the focus point of a killer science fair project. Remember, though, to treat your BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm with respect - 'cause when it's great grandson of a killing machine comes around, you'll need all the good references you can get!

Retro Duo NES/SNES Game System

Retro Duo NES/SNES Game System

If you put your hand far enough into the crack of your couch in the basement you're likely to find an old SNES game cartridge... reach a little further and out comes a pop rock encrusted NES cartridge. Problem is, no matter how far you burrow, you'll never come up with a full Nintendo classic game system... and you'll never ever find a system that plays both NES and SNES games. Well luckily the Retro Duo NES/SNES Game System is here to solve all your 8 and 16 bit gaming needs. Two top loading cartridge slots, one for NES the other for SNES, ensure full compatibility with all your old games... and it's completely couch lint free! Controllers are included of course, or you can plug in your own original SNES controllers for 100% accurate gaming nostalgia. Important Note: The Retro Duo does not come with any cartridges or a built in game. You need to provide your own SNES or NES game cartridges. Don't have any? Try eBay.
