Lee’s Journal

Christmas is on the way and ThinkGeek has a special desktop decoration for you. It’s the USB Snowbot that boasts a scanning LED robotic eye with user changeable colors, authentic Snowbot sounds and rotating, articulating metal arms.

Powered by a simple USB port, the Snowbot has a scanning light just like the robots from the future. You can change the speed of the scan, turn on/off the scanning noise, and (for future protection) change the scan color (red or blue). So no matter which robot army storms your home or office, a quick flick of a switch and you are rooting for the invader’s color. Hopefully then the robots will just make you a servant and not an appetizer.

Watch the USB Snowbot in action after this jump.
