Hexbug
Here at IWOOT we're constantly on the look out for new and exciting robots, which is why we've fallen head over heels for the Hexbug. These creepy crawly robots are packed full of high tech wizadry (well, sound and object sensors which is quite wizardy to us) that enable them to dodge obstacles and run away from loud noises. All of this is possible because of a tiny microprocessor that allows the Hexbug to process signals from their antennae and an inbuilt microphone. As they scurry along, or perhaps beetle along, if you slap the table in front of them, or clap your hands, they'll stop, back up and a zip off in another direction. The NEW Hexbug Crab has the added bonus of a light sensor. It won't run away from obstacles but but for some reason it just can't stand the light, so it'll scuttle away to hide in a dark corner when provoked. Of course if you live in student accommodation you've probably got quite a collection of real bugs lurking about, but only the more unhinged amongst you would consider any of them to be pets. These funky little critters make great little desktop friends.
