Whether it’s ‘ Fuzzy Duck’, ‘ Bullsh*t’ or ‘I Have Never’ there’s no denying that us UK drinkers love a drinking game. But if you’re a bit bored of the status quo & have run out of convincing I have nevers it might be time to brave the Ring of Fire. The idea is simple. Lay the 40 game cards out in a circle, place a drink of your choice in the middle (we reckon a concoction of some sort is best), pour your friends a drink & get started. Take turns in flipping the cards & face the challenge you’ve been dealt – whether it’s to down your drink, make a friend drink their drink or make up a new game rule. This really is the ultimate in drinking games – you just need to gather up a few brave friends to have a go. ...

We do miss Robot Wars.... Before you start building the all singing, cleaning, tidying, dancing, car fixing, home robot youve always meant to get round to it might be a good idea to start small & learn some of the basics. The Build Your Own Robot Arm is the perfect practice run. Anyone who wants a fun technical challenge can build their own remote controlled robotic arm with this self-assembly kit. Although its simple to construct, building the robot arm is a great way to learn more about basic robot technology & control systems.

A wired remote controller gives the user complete control over all of these functions, & in addition to learning about robotic operation during the assembly process, manually controlling the arm is the perfect way to learn more about how machines work.

The super bright mini LED torch that fits on your key ring. Once upon a time, not that long ago, wind-up torches were large, heavy, & pretty inefficient. Much sweat-inducing winding for a faint glimmer. Well all that has changed with the Robot Torch. Key Ring torches can often be rather too large for comfort, yet this cute little retro techno Robot Torch is truly small. At just 5cm high hes a tiny little fella, & yet with just a few cranks on his flip-out arm his two super-bright LED eyes will give you a veritable blast of light. What e=we cant work out is how on earth he manages to store light for so long. We wound him up at night, played with him a bit, then fliped his little on/off switch. The next morning when we cam to turn him on again he was still as bright as ever. Weve done no scientific or even remotely logical testing, but were very impressed by his performance. Next time your stranded in the gloom, reach for your Robot & let him light up your life (relatively speaking). ...
