Robotic toys are all the rage these - hell, even PC World is planning to open robot shops. Today, we have RoboBoa, which is hoping to do for snake pets what Snakes On a Plane failed to do for snake-oriented action flicks.

The RoboBoa from Mark Tilden and WowWee Robotics, is best described as one part robot snake, one part alarm clock, one part reading light and one part boogie disco reptile. It has 41 one functions in all but the main ones are its ability to be “a smart desk light, wake-up alarm, strafing room alarm, disco marquee, roving tank, safety light, playful cannon and friendly “alien” personality.”

I personally like the way it can track anything in the room that moves with its head and the IR sensor can activate a tracking laser beam in the dark. And, if you notice that it’s no longer on your dresser, don’t panic because it can also be set to roam around the house by itself, freaking out the cat. Expect to pay £110.
