Tankbot by DeskPets is a Hoot
Nancy Gravley DeskPets has released several desk-type toys and the Tankbot is their latest creation. It works on its own or remotely controlled with an iPhone, iPod, or iPad. The MSRP is US$25.00 and is available in orange, lime green, blue, and gray.
Tankbot color choices
To take advantage of the remote control aspects of the Tankbot users must download the free DeskPets app from the App Store. Here’s the icon, so you’ll recognize it.

Using the product
Rather than try to describe it, I made a video.

Do I recommend it?
I do. If nothing else, get it for the dads, uncles, and grown up cousins so they will have their own toys on Christmas morning. They really don’t want any more ties.

Indeed you do. I was born in Georgia and my parents retained their Georgia accents until their deaths. At this point, mine is probably more Texan, but the south does come out. The Georgia accent is beautiful and I wish I had retained more of it.
