Best remote controlled robotic toys according to redditors

Looks like this

I think it's this.

Every time I see this reposted all I can think about is how it's a remote controlled arm so is it really a robot clicking the button or a person?

EEG.

You can buy simple versions as toys. And more expensive versions work better.

I have no idea why that was downvoted either. People are odd.

I found the exact one in the video I think https://smile.amazon.com/CIRCUIT-TEST-Robotic-Edge-Wired-Controller/dp/B008MONL8O?_encoding=UTF8&keywords=controllable%20robot%20arm&qid=1485455226&ref_=sr_1_1&sr=8-1

As of right now you can buy a toy that uses your brain waves to make a ball rise

This branch of science is called Electroencephalography and I sincerely believe that this technology is going to get better and better as time goes on. With this technology being refined and enhanced every day I believe that we will soon be able to interface with our devices, machines and computers using our minds.

Yes, it's this robot arm and it's remote controlled by a person unless someone hacked and automated it.

Here is the remote controlled robot they used to add a laser. $120 on amazon

They simply removed the cannon and stuck on a laser and moved the wires for the cannon to the button for the laser.

Hexbugs are great cat toys. This keeps my cats entertained for hours

It looks like a Kondo KHR-3HV.

And probably a custom made bike.

Yes.

Program one of these bad boys.

As I said above:

> Not at all. You can do a basic setup simply by gutting a child's toy. That's just getting you a single input, but it's inexpensive and simple to set up.

I mean, I still think this is fake, but getting brainwave input into a project (not necessarily reading desired arm movement, but rather just looking for alpha wave spikes) can be done trivially with junk like this.

$40.

You'll have to add a microcontroller and some way to get position info for each axis, which you can do with some clever 3d printing, some Hall effect sensors and magnets.

Well, something you both might have fun building together is the Owi robotic arm:

It's relatively cheap compared to other things and is good quality. I have one on my desk I built a while ago and it is great fun. Robotics leagues will appear more often in middle and high school (vex, first, things like that) but this should keep her interested.

I am an engineering graduate student and I highly recommend this: http://amzn.com/B0017OFRCY

There's no programming to it. It's strictly the hardware of the robotics; gears, electric motors, linkages. I got it specifically because it's straightforward and I had plans to augment it with an Arduino wheeled robot and chase my roommate's ferrets (which I never got around to). It's all hard plastic and metal parts and the grip is pretty decent.

This would work well for you too since it has good instructions. If you can put together a table from IKEA, you can put together this robotic arm. It's also a great price. I see Mindstorms thrown around a lot, and that may work well in this case since he's 5 but I've always found their stuff to be incredibly overpriced (this is coming from someone who loves Legos).

Fair warning, this will give him great insight into the mechanics of how robotic arms work. Side effects may include him shutting himself in his room to work on his "arc reactor".

For anyone interested in the blue "spider" toy: https://www.hexbug.com/mechanical/scarab or http://www.amazon.com/Hexbug-Scarab-Colors-May-Vary/dp/B006SLYAUQ/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1425709693&sr=8-2&keywords=scarab

I bought mine already. O.o (21 year old college student)

$30,000?! It's £21 on Amazon UK!

Poor quality video of Keepon dancing.

EDIT: Ahh I see.

If you are a diy type I'm sure combining a fleshlight plus a robotic arm would be a good project.

These are all real robots. Some of which you can build yourself (you'd have to help him though). Any particular kind he's looking for?

You can get your own Keepon robot if you want.

Youngling, the force cannot be lost but it can be found.

Kits are the easiest way to go by far but there is not a sub $400 kit that I know of that can reach the North pennies. So if you go with a kit it is not going to be turn-key (you are going to have to modify its reach).

A lot of teams (including some of the ones I work with) really like the OWI-535 as it is cheap and easy to modify. Most of the other team I see at State every year are using VEX creations. And then there is that one robot from that one team, a fully custom 1:1 matching action robotic arm pair.

If you have the time, money, and skill; building one will give you way more options and flexibility when it comes to the competition. If you are building your own based on an arduino control; look into high torque servos, and these (I found them linked off of a video I cannot find at the moment).

And finally I will leave you with this Youtube link to something that was posted over in the student forums.

This, this and this all together would make my SO not only incredibly happy, but I would probably reach god-like status for getting him these toys. Maybe your husband would like them too!

Meditation is not a prerequisite for telepathy, despite popular misconception. This is actually unlocked via the Neurotechnology tree, and the Science guilds have already released tech that lets ordinary players use the similar skill of telekinesis without having to grind any exp. While we haven't had any such breakthroughs with telepathy, it's a sure bet that this too will be unlocked via Neurotechnology and not Meditation (or the other Mysticism-related talents).

I'm not sure of this exact type, but I have one of these for my kitties:

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00TTU9RAQ/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_9RMMDb1VR8GE6

I had one of these Armatron robots as a kid. Last year got my son this for Christmas. You have (get to) build it yourself. And is just as awesome as the original. Every time I go to tuck in my son for the night I have to sacrifice a few lego guys to the voltron gods.

I think it’s a variant of this https://www.amazon.com/HEXBUG-Nano-Robotic-Cat-Toy/dp/B00TTU9RAQ/

It’s this one isn’t it? I remember having one of these.

The link in the video description is broken... I found this link, but this appears to be a much more modern version of it (even with an iPhone dongle). The one I had didn’t have a control either.

Get the Bandai vinyl one off amazon. There is a creations one in Walmart but it does not look as great as the Bandai vinyl. It’s like 7 bucks more than the Walmart one but it is def more worth it. Bandai Japan really hit it out of the park with this figure.

There was a Star Wars toy that did essentially this same thing as a Pong paddle moving up and down in 2009.

Best of both worlds

ok, squish the bad ones, but the house spiders are kinda helpful. (end unpopular sentiment)

Or, or, get one of those remote control spiders/tarantulas and terrorize the nurses! http://www.amazon.com/Uncle-Milton-Radio-Control-Tarantula/dp/B000EUDAWG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1331606976&sr=8-1

Ok, spiders aside, you have been through a crappy event and proven yourself a goddamned badass by pulling through it. Now your body is like "ok, badass, we need some time to recharge th badass battery". LIKE A BAWS.

It's hard to admit sometimes, but seeing a psychiatrist could help - temporary medication to get through the darker, harder times, which cna be discontinued once your BAWS battery is at full again. It can help - take it from a lifelong sufferer of depression.

Reddit has faith in you! I'm sure someone has made a Spiderman comment... so.. I will abstain. Keep rocking, ok?

That robot dinosaur from the year 2000.

a game you control with the star wars force trainer

It's the OWI Robotic Arm kit and while it is a little pricey for a "toy" everything goes together nicely and it's easy to hack.

I'd recommend that if you do get it that you also get a good Exacto™ type knife or utility knife and get good at using it. There are always little nubs of plastic left when you pull the pieces off of the panels them come in.

Here, let me help you out :D These are all in the $10 to $20 range, while others go from $20 to $30. The first section is for the banks... I added some actual toys in the other sections just in case :D

The reviews say there are a some gotchas you should watch for.

Strictly speaking this an RC toy, not a robot. It has no brain. It is a clever mechanism that, sadly, requires no programming.

I wouldn't be surprised if there's a way to make DIY nerf darts that fit in this thing.

This should make great use of your post.

Treat yourself for xmas this year.

Well, I tried to find something that would ship fast. It was damn impossible. But I sent Logan this: https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AV8XBGG/ref=od_aui_detailpages00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

It will arrive on Tuesday. I paid for 1 day shipping...but it didn't seem to matter.

My 8 year old asked for the Lego electric train for his big gift. He is also getting a few new XBox games and then he and his younger brother are getting this remote control car kit (you control the cars with your device) to share. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00V6951I0?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o04_s00

Reminds me of an Attacknid. Or the giant one that the original inventor made in the woods.

Sounds cool

In all seriousness it sounds like it would be pretty beneficial. Thanks.

Yeah, no. This is a manually controlled robot arm toy. That's why the bag is on the controls. So, this is still a Captcha being defeated by a person. Using a toy robot arm. Deal with THAT, yo.

Honestly I'm amazed by these things. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B001UZHASY

We got this Hexbug for our cat.
He will play with it ofr 10-15 minutes at a time, though has to be in the "mood" to play.

You should also be playing with a wand toy, such as Da Bird or the Cat Dancer for at least 15 minutes a day to give her an outlet and bond with you.

These things man. My parents gave them to us to play with our cats with. We found out they make very nice little vibrators. Small enough to fit inside of panties and go unnoticed. You can pick them up at just about any toy store.

Having one can make things really fun.

Also, there are literally mind-reading Star Wars toys. I was gonna post https://www.amazon.ca/Star-Wars-Science-Force-Trainer/dp/B001UZHASY as a reply to the guy saying it's "clearly fake" - with a dash of optimism that looks like it could easily be scavenged parts for a basic servo setup, triggered with toy parts, to help move his arm.

Are you thinking of RoboSapiens?

i've got a guy that's a huge prankster, so i bought him a remote controlled spider. he got several people with it, including our exec. people do silly things when you startle them.

Jedi Force Trainer or other move impressive devices that read brainwaves to preform actions.

Dude, just add one to your wishlist

If youre looking for the 80s toy, the bigtrak might be what you're looking for.

There is a more recent toy that is similar. It's called the recon

There is also the Wowee Robosapien that came out in the 2000's. That one is more of a bipedal/ humanoid robot.
