Once he’s charged, your challenge is to guide the looped wand from one side of the wires atop Mr. Robot’s head to the other without touching the coils. Touch your wand to the wire and Mr. Robot Head expresses his dismay in a fit of bl...

My boy already bounces around like he's part bionic. So to ease the wear and tear on his hinges and hydraulics, I opt for tried and true brands like Vans. These slip-on robot shoes ($US34) feature ankle biter 'bots in lively colors. And let's face it: now is not the time to fight with laces....

Make Your Pencil Do The Robot
The pencil may be the simplest tool there is, but it gets geeked out with this robot.

Large Robot Plush Toy with Headphones: not much in the way of a name there, eh? Well, what it lacks in off-the-shelf glitz, this 14" plush robot makes up for in cuteness and personality. Plus he makes a way better snuggle buddy than that MP3 player whose earbuds you're rightfully worried about sending kids into bed with. $US40 from Hey Killa...

Japanese Robot Babies!
What makes us human? Is it a mind, intelligence, the ability to learn new things? Is it the light shining in the eyes of a baby when she begins to wake up to the world around here, look around and take it all in?

Perfect for Phys-Ed: New Balance Light-Up Robot Shoes
Ever had the great kids' sneaker debate? Once your toddler transforms into a kid, you begin to wonder whether you should spend your shoe budget on character-covered cheapies from your discount store of choice or buy "real" sneakers. The cheapies are obviously cheaper, but the tread and seams wear out quickly. Then again, if your kid grows out...
