RoboPet

As a four-legged friend of the celebrated RoboSapien, he hasn't gone begging in the robotics department either. Programmed and controlled via a remote control, he is capable of both managed and autonomous behaviour. In autonomous mode he is able to detect and avoid obstacles in his path, which means you can allow him free roam of the house, (although you won't have to worry about him mounting the cream coloured couch, or anything else for that matter). He'll also react to sound and movement – cocking his head in a heart melting display of canine curiosity.

The remote control unit allows you to teach him special tricks, sequences and moves but the best thing about it has to be the fact that it operates like a virtual leash. Simply use the remote control to trace a path in front of Robopet, (up to a foot away), and he will follow, wherever you lead him. How cool is that? You can also use the remote control to discipline him, reinforcing good behaviour and discouraging bad behaviour. Robopet's personality will develop according to your parenting skills – if you praise him too much he will become spoilt and if you punish him too often he will become timid. If all that sounds a bit stressful just think of the pleasure you'll get when your friends comment on what a well brought up Robopet you have – 'far nicer than that yappy little ankle biter next door'.

If you've always wanted a pet but you live in a flat or you simply don't have the time to walk a dog regularly then Robopet is the answer. He's sufficiently receptive to make him a genuine member of the family but when you're really busy you can put him in sleep mode and he won't stare at you with sad, neglected - 'pleeeease take me for a walk' eyes.

Indoor Golf

This miniature version of golf will keep any golf enthusiasts busy for hours. The first thing you’ll need to do is create your own golf course – place the golf greens around your desk or on the floor (the grip pads on the bottom of the greens are suited to hard surfaces such as wood). Space each green about 30cm apart whilst you’re beginning, and increase the space when you’ve mastered this level.

The next decision is to decide where to tee-off or begin each hole. You should tee-off approximately 20cm away from the green and can place hazards such as staplers, hole-punches, pot plants etc. along the way depending on how challenging you want the course to be.

Once you’ve decided on the course, place the flags in corresponding greens (flag no.1 on the green for hole no.1 etc.)You can now tee-off from the first tee by hitting the ball-bearing with the club. Each player should note the number of strokes taken for each hole and total scores at the end of the game.
It’s golf without the walking!
