Expected: August 2008 You would be forgiven in thinking this amazing wi-fi robot has just come back from a mission to mars! It’s made by the same people who brought us the Robosapien range and one of their developers was actually involved with the NASA space programme. Rovio is a WiFi enabled robotic webcam that easily moves in any direction and can be controlled remotely. You can View and interact with Rovio’s environment through its streaming video and audio via its built-in camera.

I’m not much for the game of golf, though I do rather enjoy a good round of putt-putt. Well when you’re stuck in the office and wanting to practice your short-game, here’s a sneaky way to do it. Use your coffee mug. Sure, your regular cup isn’t going to make a great target, so that’s why you should use the Golfers Mug.

When you’re done with your morning cup of Joe, just lay the mug on its side (preferably after you’ve rinsed it out) and you’ve got yourself a target. Now all you have to do is figure out where to hide you putter. You can pick one of these up for around $13.

Golfers Mug combines coffee and putting

Ah the Golfers Mug: such a simple idea. Drink your coffee and then lay the mug on the floor flat-side down for a little putting practice before you tackle the day ahead.

I might suggest putting with a new golf ball to avoid potential pesticide ingestion. That, or cleaning the mug and/or your balls on a somewhat regular basis.

The Golfers Mug costs £8 ($13). Looks like it’s only available in the UK at the moment.
