Meet the Crafty Robot, a.k.a. the cutest thing you’ve ever seen.
It’s a robot toy that’s sure to delight everyone, and it’s technology that’s simple and fun, but also highly impactful.
The product hails from England, and its purpose is to propagate the notion that making new technology is not just about coding and complicated science, it’s about engineering, experimenting, thinking out of the box, learning, and most of all, it’s about having fun.
Crafty Robots can charge on anything with a USB port, and, sort of like a music box, you leave it to charge for about 45 seconds to enjoy 2 minutes of fancy frolicking.
The most wonderful thing about the Crafty Robot is that you can make it out of anything: paper, cardboard, food, you can use a 3D printer if you have one, you can use cloth, crochet something, literally anything.
How is this Possible?
How? Well, the robot is powered by the Fizzbit, and its small size and high capacity make it possible for you to stick it in any material. You can even go onto the Crafty Robot website and share your designs or pick out one from the ones uploaded.
I don’t know about you guys, but I’m seriously eyeing the Pug one. You could even unicorn yourself.
You can make your Robot anything you want, like a cuter version of the Sims that doesn’t set your house on fire or speaks gibberish. It can be Miley Cyrus’ epic face at this year’s VMAs, or John Cena, your cat or dog or your mailbox, anything! You can also have as many as you want, so you could make Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton face off less diplomatically, or relive Mayweather vs Pacquiao.
The possibilities are endless.
The team at Crafty Robot even staged a Paper Bake Off, modeled after the show Great British Bake-Off.
If you don’t watch it, it’s cool, but do check out how these cuties frolic around sugary ingredients and you, too, will want at least fifteen of them to put around your place or annoy your cat with (you better pad the little buddy up, though).
The Crafty Robot doesn’t use batteries (yay!), no plastic (double yay!), it’s reusable, recyclable, and reduces the exploit of non-biodegradable resources. And if it clears all three R’s, you can be sure I’ll be getting one for this Christmas.
