Blow Bot

We've all dreamed of having a robotic servant at some time. In my case it's usually at the weekend when I'm gagging for cold beer, but suffering just a little too much to make it to the fridge myself. Even when such robots do become available you have to ask yourself how you could afford one and where would you store it when it's not in use. If only they could be cheap and inflatable eh?

That's exactly what Blow Bot is: A cheap and inflatable robotic slave for you!

Admittedly twenty quid doesn't get you much in the way of advanced artificial intelligence or the widest range of capabilities, but this cute air-filled robo-gopher is a pretty good start.

Blow bot is 32" high inflatable, radio controlled robot with built in walkie-talkie capability. Whilst his inflatable arms won't be much cop at getting the fridge door open you can send him out to the kitchen and use the walkie-talkie to ask you other half to pop a cold one in his backpack then bring him back over to the sofa. Not bad. If your other half starts getting bored of these antics you could always get Blow Bot to great her with flowers (although you'll probably need to get off the sofa to buy some!)

"Why is it pointless?"

He can't do the washing up or ironing

"Why is it cool?"

He's the sort of inflatable friend that you won't have to hide from your family!
