Mazebot Desk Pet helps alleviate boredom at the office

Posted in: Today's Chili

mazebotWorking at the office can be quite a drag, especially when you feel that you are stuck in a dead end job, but are just slogging it away in front of the computer so that you can make ends meet. There is not much joy left in the office environment, and the stifling coat and tie routine is starting to make you gag, but you plod on just because of the car and house mortgages. Well, why not inject some fun and life into your cubicle with the $29.99 Mazebot Desk Pet?

The Mazebot Desk Pet will be able to set the stage for epic desktop battles, where it comes in the form of a snap-together maze kit that will cater for desktop toys. You will, of course, need to have smartphone-controlled Desk Pets to play with this, but basically, your imagination would play a large role in making sure that the race tracks as well as mazes that you create are fun enough to play over and over again with the rest of your equally burned out colleagues. This is the ideal layout for Battletank fights, to race Carbots or Tankbots, or simply a place where these toys will be able to interact together.

Battletank Desk Pet lets you de-stress at the office

Posted in: Today's Chili

battletank-desk-petAll work and no play is said to make Jack a dull boy, and I guess when the proverbial Jack grows up to be a man, he too, would be dull if he were to be a cubicle drone all day long. Perhaps there might be something which can be done to make Jack’s life a whole lot more interesting and fun despite trudging into the office earlier in the morning? This is where the $49.99 Battletank Desk Pet would play a role – literally, as these high-tech battling toy robots would be controlled by a compatible smartphone, bringing the old and new together in a simple amalgamation of ideas.

All you need is a pair, and they will react (adversely) to one another. Compatible with OS devices and Android devices, the Battletank Desk Pet is the ideal way to settle office disputes. The “winner” would be able to get his or her way, as your enemy’s tank spins out of control and slows down to a stop after you register enough successful hits. All you need to do is to plug in a small dongle into the headphone jack, allowing the smart toys to move around, “fire,” recoil, and react to the shots of other Battletanks. The Battletanks are powered by an internal battery which can be charged via USB. 40 minutes of charge time would result in 15 minutes play time.

Just what else do you use your smartphone for apart from listening to your favorite tunes, watching movies on it on a long haul flight, and generally keeping a tight schedule? Well, Thinkgeek might have something just for you – the $29.99 Smartphone Controlled Desk Pet Carbot.

The CarBots are specially controlled using the touch screen of your favorite smartphone or tablet (as long as it is any of the ones described above, that is), and when your manager takes a glance over at your side, it does seem as though you are typing furiously away, how about that for being productive?

You will be able to choose from the drift ‘n’ race, a battle mode, a maze mode, and a personality mode. Bear in mind that different colored CarBots can be used together for added mayhem.
