I don't know about y'all, but here in Austin TX we could use a few robotic bugs, mainly to hunt down fire ants, now there would be a toy to capture a kid's mind.

I have three Hexbugs sitting on top of my computer monitor right now that I bought from high school robotics team fundraisers. They are definitely cool little toys.

Raid kills bugs, dead, dead, dead.
