Ollo T-Rex.jpgI must admit, the ThinkGeek website is a treasure trove. I've referenced it in Made By Monkeys - see I can't believe someone makes... Wi-Fi detector baseball caps and I can't believe someone makes... LED disco shower lights - but here it is in Gadget Master, too. The reason? Check out Ollo, the robot building kit.

Meccano on steroids, I suppose you could call it. Check out the video below.

It is aimed at kids, of course. Aged eight plus, to be precise.

"Build all sorts of motorized creatures and contraptions with this fun and unique building set," it declares.

And the pack enables you to build five plans: a "little dog-thing", a windmill, a walking T-rex (pictured), a walking dog and a walking bug.
