The X-Skate skateboarding robot is not just another remote controlled toy. This little guy can do extreme spins, flips, jumps and tricks that you can control. The robot itself is also flexible, so that you can pose him in neat positions when he is on the move. An included infra-red remote control gives you full directional controls over the little guy – you can have him turn left, right, backwards and forwards, and you can even place obstacles in his way, Tony Hawk style. The X-Skate skateboarding robot retails for £19.99.
