There’s no denying the fact that robots are awesome. It doesn’t matter if they’re sent from the future to protect us, or if they quietly hide under the couch until summoned to suck up crumbs off the floor, they’re crazy cool. They also happen to be ridiculously expensive… or so we thought. Now you can have a robot equipped with audio/visual capabilities (including infrared night vision) that’s controllable with an iPod, iPhone or iPad for under $200. You get up to 200ft of wireless range unobstructed, or 100ft with walls, so it’s not exactly up to the task of warzone duty. If, however, you want to check things out in the office or the living room, this rover has you covered.

Huckberry’s Essential Holiday Gift Guide
Unzip your coat and have some mulled wine on the house—you’ve arrived at your final gifting destination: The Holiday Gift Guide. It’s like your friendly neighborhood one-stop holiday shop, except instead of balsa wood ornaments, ours is packed with thoughtful gifts for everyone on your list. Future heirlooms, small-but-significant stocking stuffers, and gear for getting out there (or staying in)—are all right here. There’s no music playing in the background though, so you’ll just have to hum Bing Crosby while you click around instead.
