If you spend time at a desk then you know how much you sometimes need diversion.  How about some electronic cockroaches that do battle with each other?  Skitterbots are just that — tiny battery power remote controlled robots ready to do your bidding.

Skitterbots from DeskPets come in four different colors to help you tell them apart as they do battle.  The colors also represent different frequencies that allow you to control more than one Skitterbot at a time.  If you don’t want to do battle with them, you can race them or just have fun sending them all over the top of your desk.  A USB-powered remote controller and charger sends them in any direction.  A 30 minute charge supplies 15 minutes of Skitterbot action.
