Good Day to Groovy Geeks: An Episode of Gizmos and Gags

Welcome to another episode of Gizmos and Gags, I'm your host Kip Kay, and today we're going to explore the world of robotics. I hope you're enjoying this brand-new series, as I've just started doing it because I think it's a lot of fun to show you a gizmo and then something we can laugh at a gag a little bit later on. But right now, it's time for this week's gizmo – the Balanced Master Robot.

The Balanced Master Robot is an intriguing device that caught my attention when I first saw it. It comes in a couple of different colors, black and silver, and I chose the black one for the show. Upon loading it up with some batteries, which take double-A batteries by the way, I discovered that it also has a little remote control attached to it. When you turn it on, it automatically balances itself – pretty cool, right? I turned on the remote, and to my surprise, the robot balanced all by itself, almost as if it was performing a little dance.

The Balanced Master Robot has four different modes, which I'll take you through in detail now. First up is the dance mode, where this little robot will dance to some different tunes as each one plays out. It's quite an entertaining sight to see, with the robot moving its body in time with the music. The next mode is the gesture control mode, which is represented by the blue color. With your hand, you can control it – move it forwards or backwards, or swiping side-to-side will cause this little fella to turn.

The robot also has a balance mode with an included tray that can carry small objects around if needed. This feature allows you to master robots – I assume you're familiar with the concept – and put the robot in the boxing mode, which is represented by the red color. However, since I only have one robot, I couldn't demonstrate this particular feature. On the other hand, it does come with a standard purple mode, which is the drive mode where you can control it using the joystick.

The Balanced Master Robot is from a company called Think Gizmos – how appropriate, don't you think? It's a lot of fun, and pretty cool, if I do say so myself. And the best part? It retails for right around 70 bucks, making it an affordable option for those looking to get their hands on a self-balancing robot.

Now that we've explored the Balanced Master Robot in detail, let's move on to today's gag – which promises to be entertaining as always. But before I reveal what it is, take a look at these little guys out – they're five finger hand finger puppets. You might be wondering exactly what you do with them, but I'll leave that for you to discover.

These finger puppets are quite self-explanatory, but I must admit that putting them on your fingers does give the phrase 'giving the finger' a whole new meaning – a rather cheeky suggestion, if you ask me. So, if you're looking forward to using these little guys, take note: they might just make you want to do something a bit mischievous.

But don't worry, I won't be giving in to your requests – at least, not yet. Instead, I'll give you the robot bill today's giveaway is the self-balancing robot, which you can win by entering a comment pin in the comments below. And trust me, it will be worth it – this little guy is sure to bring some excitement into your life.

And that's all for today, folks – don't forget to tune in next time when we'll have more gizmos and dad jokes to share. Until then, goodbye!

to do it I'm going to give you the robot bill today's giveaway is the self balancing robot now there's a comment pin in the comments below we could use all of the information you need to enter to win this little guy I'll send it out to the lucky winner of this week's gizmos and gagged I'm Kip Kay we'll see you next time with some more gizmos and dad bye byegood day you groovy geeks and welcome to
