[Yaaarc] ThinkGeek Robotic Christmas Items

[Keith Mc. (Route-To YAR)]

I ran across some funny Cubical Warfare items at Think Geek the 
other day.  Many are robotic or have USB interfaces.  

I thought the USB Rocket Launcher had some interesting hacking 
opportunities, esp. for slapping on the back of JanBot scale bots. <grin>

Hey... anyone up for a Janbot/Flutterbot/Vex scale competition next 
summer, where bots try to aim at and hit LED beaconed targets on other 
bots' backs with simple servo released rubber bands? <ping!> <WINK>

Enjoy the links, and have a Happy Holiday Season!
