Okay so adventuring on the Internet today I found this little thing. It's called Sphero Now to it's credit this is America, with obesity and Iphones both becoming a norm It only was a matter of time before a made a ball that was remote controlled by our Iphones... Can you feel the sarcasm sticking to every pixel of your screen right now? yea. Now I will admit I think the idea is kinda cool and the creators actually made API's for it so third party groups can make infinitely cooler apps. That take advantage of the built in LED, gyroscopic, and accelerometer.  So looking at videos and such on the Sphero reminded me of a video Phill Defranco did about the AR.drone 2.  Which is actually cool. Creeping was never so easy! The AR.drone 2 is a flying quad copter That has a HD camera on the front... Which could be used for a multitude of things, getting dramatic camera angles, exploring the world around you, or the girls next doors bed room....
