    ZOMG! I’m just going to write it once but you can pretend it is repeated for about ten pages. Robotic ball, controlled by your smartphone. And it glows. It’s like all your CJ glow pron dreams come true at once. Oh yes it is. Don’t try and say otherwise.

    GoSphero’s Channel has lots more videos of it scaring kids and chasing cats and that sort of thing, or you can check out their website: gosphero.com

    I for one welcome our new robotic…. etc.

    Flowtoys put together this cute video showing a Toroflux in action, including a demo by Isaac Blackwood combining a Toroflux with 1 ball contact juggling – Supergood.

    Designed by Jochen Valett the Toroflux is “a mesmerizing kinetic sculpture and an interactive “flow toy” that’s like a 4th dimensional slinky.” Sweet, I must have watched this video about 100 times in the last 2 weeks, we’re starting the Christmas list early at MoM Headquarters.
