be cuddly and warm at the bottom of Andy’s sleeping bag. Problem is
that while Barker stays warm, Andy’s feet freeze.
"We combine play with innovative technology to address real-world issues in a meaningful fun way." That’s what Uncharted Play’s website says, and with a product like the SOCCKET Soccer Ball, the ball that generates energy and can charge small electrical devices, they’re living up to that statement.
