New BIOBug Footage

We've just recently been given the go-ahead to unveil more Wowwee BIOBugs - the toy that Mark Tilden had direct involvement in!

This is footage we shot while down in New Mexico this Spring at the 2001 LANL workshop. The first video shows the BIOBug Beetle's ability to maneuver and respond to obstacles. The second video shows the Beetle and Termite models.

Word is that you can expect these on store shelves in the early Autumn. Expect us to be working hard on hacking projects when that happens!
