Gear Diary Desk Pets Rolls Out New BattleTank at Toy Fair photo

When I was a new dad, I would sometimes bring my wee ones to the office, just so they could see “where Papa worked”.  (Now they see it all the time, seeing as how I work at home.  Not much mystery there!)  And being little kids, the first thing they wanted to know was, Where is all the fun stuff?  And because of that, and because I’ve got a lot of little kid in me, I had a drawer full of “office toys”; stuff you could play with and not look like a total and complete dork.  (I also had a few little kid toys.  Because: Kids!)  But you can never have too many toys handy if you’re stuck at the office all day, right?  Which brings us to the BattleTank, “a palm-sized robotic tank that is fully controllable through both Apple® and Android™ mobile devices.  BattleTank comes equipped with two navigation modes allowing the tank to roam freely or charge into action to race and battle in multi-player mode.”

Check out the BattleTank in action: BattleTank: Ready, Aim, Fire!

Doug is a nerd from way back, falling for a Commodore PET at the age of 15, and never looking back. Riding the nerd wave, he got a Computer Science degree and entered the tech industry at a young age, deciding after a year and a half of front-line phone technical support that he should try something, *anything* else. He settled on technical writing, and has been cranking out documentation for companies like Unisys, SGI, Cisco, Juniper, and many others ever since. He is nothing short of ecstatic to be working for H-P from his home base in Austin.
