Desk Pets International, which makes a variety of geeky micro-robotic toys, has just announced the Trekbot, a hubless micro-robotic racer. It comes with a five-function USB remote that lets it perform sharp turns, headstands, and full flips while moving at top speed. With a built-in USB charger, Trekbot never needs batteries.
Trekbots come with a four-color, four-frequency system, which means that multiple owners can race their ‘bots without causing interference. Each ‘bot features an angled wheel design that makes it easy for racers to perform flips and spins at the touch of a button. When it’s time to recharge, plug the USB remote into any Windows or Mac system. Thirty minutes of charging provides fifteen minutes of play. You can pick up a Trekbot at Toys R Us for $19.99.
