does anyone have one of these?
it's called desktop rover.


for those who aren't familiar, it's a remote controlled vehicle, supposedly the guy made it got the idea from the nasa mars rover.

it can play laser tag, you can attach a camera to it so you can view it on a TV. And get this, you can control this thing over the internet! you can make scripts for its movement. so technically you can control the rover at home while you're in the office. it goes for $40.

LINK!!! I MUST HAVE ONE OF THESE THINGS!!!!!!!!
i wonder how long the cable is on it? this would be a cool way to keep an eye on things while i am away or at work.

manufacturer is here http://www.plantraco.com/product_dtr.html

but if you're going to buy it, go to thinkgeek.com, it's cheaper than on the plantraco website.

there's no cable, it's wireless.
here's the demo

think geek got some great stuff. i don't have anymore room on my desk at work. i already have a fish tank, some 14" luminglass and a 19" monitor that takes a lot of space.
i got a ZipZap car on top of my monitor too ;f
