Cloudrobot
The Cloudrobots is a video game but real. That is, it is controlled like a video game but each user has his robot boxer who competes against another actual robot. These robots contain 21 engines and is all controlled by an AVR chip, giving them very accurate Experience. They are controlled by remote control that works via Bluetooth. And there is no risk of breakage because in its current state does not actually touch.Instead the points are counted in the virtual environment, we can see through a screen. Therefore mark robots blows only. For now it will be an expensive toy as the final price in retail is estimated at 300$ .

LittleBits
LittleBits are a small number of electronic modules, each with a specific function, whether light, sound, switches, sensors, buttons, motors, etc. While alone do nothing, when linked together can combine their functions to make things happen. They are connected by magnets, so no need to know but if you allow electronic learning capabilities of each component. The only limit is the creativity of the user. The modules are open source and there is a community that shares behind their designs and prototypes.New modules are added regularly.
With the sputtering economy, many folks are being much more conservative with their gift-buying. It only makes sense, and it's why we gave you a list of gift suggestions last week that were cheap but still awesome. But if there's one demographic who should be spending more this holiday season, it's the super rich. The well-moneyed have a special opportunity — nay, a duty — to keep the economy going by splurging as much green as possible on insane tech toys this Christmas. This list is for them.
1. Vertu Signature ($12,600)
Considering the short lifespan of a cellie, investing more than a few hundred dollars in a phone is an exercise in ostentatious spending — so go for broke (quite literally) with the most extravagant mobile handset in the freakin' world, the Vertu's Signature. Hand-made from titanium, Space Shuttle hull-caliber ceramics and scratch-resistant sapphire crystal, each phone links its owner to a personal assistant—a savvy Google-aided concierge with a pleasant European pedigree, basically—with the touch of a dedicated button.
2. HP Voodoo Envy 133 (starting at $2,100)
The MacBook Air is a little light in the loafers for the on-the-go gamer; a workhorse PC in a tight notebook casing (0.7-inch thick tight) is the superior go-to option. Customizable to get expensive quick, the Envy comes standard with HDMI out for blowing your Warcraft up and onto a widescreen TV and LoJack anti-theft to deter less fortunate n00bs.
3. McIntosh M10 Turntable ($9,500)
Few things say "I'm an uncompromising music snob!" like a vinyl collection not housed in a DJ's milk crates. McIntosh's turntable marries old-timey audiophilia with new-timey digital engineering, serving up sonic accuracy on a resonance-free damped plate sitting atop a perfectly balanced polished platter.
4. Panasonic 103-inch 1080p High Definition Professional Plasma Display ($69,995)
The biggest HD plasma display money can buy at 7.5 feet by 4 feet, or 30 square feet of viewing area. Buy two more and link together to create a mega display, or install the second and third beasts in the bathrooms. Just keep in mind that you'll need it professionally installed.
Available at ABT (free shipping!)
5. Sonoro Stardust Elements ($2,500)
Short of bedazzling an Aston Martin, the Swarovski crystal-coated clock radio is as showy a gift as you're going to find. Sure, AM/FM radio and an input for an MP3 player is a staggeringly simple recipe for a single-speaker system, but this does simple in the cutest package since Britney married the first time.
6. Ultimate Ears UE 11 Pro Custom Monitors ($1,150)
For a truly unique set of headphones, get thee gift recipient to an audiologist for an impression of his ear canal and have the thing sent to Ultimate Ears, which will use it to mold a quad armature speaker config — dual subs, dedicated mid-range, and tweeter in each ear — with three-way crossover in a hearing-aid-esque earpiece to pass on flawless sound so invasively as to tickle the brain lobes.
7. Lexus RXh 400h AWD (starting at $43,480)
Getting 25 mpg isn't going to completely make up for this SUV's carbon footprint, but at least it's not a Hummer and will therefore not attract so much unwanted attention from greenies. Additional plusses: luxury vehicle options including a navigation and Mark Levinson audio system ($4,130 more) and a backup camera. Though no more show-off-y, the updated 2010 model 450h could warrant an "IOU A SUV" coupon under the tree.
8. WineStation ($6,000)
Considering a single bottle of particular vintages can easily top the cost of this automated, temperature-controlled wine dispenser and preserver, the WineStation doesn't seem like too much of a splurge. Argon and nitrogen keep an open bottle as quaffable as the day it was uncorked for as long as two months; in the meantime, the interface can recommend what you should next drink—and not necessarily finish in one sitting.
9. Kodak OLED Digital Frame ($1,000)
Having yen to burn means getting in on tomorrow's tech, like, now. OLED hasn't yet trickled down to the masses in a meaningful way, but showing it off with pictures of the Puerta Vallarta winter home (downloaded from Flickr via Wi-Fi) on this 7.6-inch digital frame is a pretty way of showing cutting-edginess.
10. Steinway Lyngdorf Model LS Home Theater System (starting at $266,000)
Piano maker Steinway capitalized on the Steinway & Sons pedigree of craftsmanship by partnering with Peter Lyngdorf and creating the super high-end audio system Model D last year. The upgrade expands into the home theater arena — an arena, by the way, being a good venue to install such a system — with this monster. Direct digital signal paths makes for perfectly lossless resolution from source… all the better to replace Tori Amos with a full-fidelity audio-only version of her.
Tech Toys 360 buckles up for a lap in the latest high performance version of the legendary Corvette, the Stingray. This completely redesigned iconic car boasts an estimated 450 horsepower, 450 lb.-ft. of torque and a 0-60 time of under 4 seconds. A hot rod inspired e-bike, the Marrs M-1 Cycle, has the electrifying style and influence of generations of stripped down, custom built bikes with an attitude. Then, virtual reality takes a quantum leap into the future with the Virtuix Omni, the first multi-directional treadmill that transforms gaming into a real-life experience. Dive into the water in the innovative DeepFlight, a personal submarine with aeronautical design roots. Its proprietary composite materials enable the craft to withstand crushing water pressures, allowing for incredible journeys into a marine world experienced by few.
Recently KTM X-Bow GT was on Tech Toys 360 and they point out that the car can go 286 mph. I thought what? Maybe 286 kph but not 286 mph. That’s beyond Bugatti Veyron territory.. beyond Hennessey’s Venom GT. Sorry, no video available on web.
After googling the KTM X-Bow GT, there are several point outs that the car can go 284 kph or 231 kph depending on where the writer got the information.
Regardless, 286 mph is a huge difference from 286 kph (converts to 178 mph).
Old news but worth noting.. Another big error was in Kanye West’s music video, “Mercy.”Lyrics: “Lamborghini Murcie. Your chick she so thirty… Lambo, Mercy-lago, she go wherever I go..”
They have a Lamborghini Gallardo. For the most part, yeah, who really cares? Eh, I can’t let it go.
