WobbleWorks 3doodle

Introducing the 3doodler pen! Forget 3d printers, the 3doodler pen is less complicated and it is able make simple art designs and makes it 3d and most importantly, it is faster! Though it cannot make weapons or food, the 3doodler pen can make a lot of neat and simple designs.

The pen was designed by the company WobbleWorks and was brought to the public as a Kickstarter. It was a tool that made the doodles 3d instead on a simple 2d paper. The Kickstarter was so successful that the company made 2.3 million dollars which exceeded their 30,000 expectations!

A piece of work created by the 3doodle pen

The pen works like a hot glue gun in which it heats up, and melts a thin piece plastic material and then when you draw with it, the plastic comes out and will cool down very fast. Also, there is a button in which you can press for how fast you want the plastic to come out.

My thoughts about it is that this could be a great step in the 3d printing world in which could start the age of a more compact and simple 3d printer.

Anki Drive

Hi readers, you know Google’s self-drive car right?

(If not, go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_driverless_car for more information)

Well imagine THAT combined with Mario kart. That’s right you get an artificially intelligent toy car that drives on it’s by itself. It is controlled by a remote controlled app on the Iphone where you see the driving as a real Mario kart game. The technology used for the self drive car is similar to the artificially intelligent toy car (A.K.A Anki drive) but imagine all that technology fitted inside the Anki drive cars.

Some features of the Anki drive are that it has a battle mode in which you try to knock other players of the track. Originally, it only had one mode which was battle mode, now Anki has upgrade to more tracks, weapons, and modes!

I think that there may be a future for this product, as in it might become really famous! I really like the sound of it. It like Mario kart where you’re playing on a console but the race is actually happening right in front of you! 

According to TIME magazine, it is rated one of the top 25 inventions for the year 2013!
