Simply connect your favorite audio player to the i-Turtle speaker, and this audio friendly reptile will happily play your music through his built-in speaker.

Or, you can put the shiny white turtle next to another speaker and watch him “tap his foot along, bob his head and raise his shell with synchronized lights that will flash to the rhythm of the music”.

I-TURTLE communicates his moods through musical riffs, movement and tons of blinking light patterns on his shell! He even whines when he’s hungry for more music or attention! I-TURTLE loves to move and groove to your music, but watch out – flick its tail, and it won’t be happy! He may have a little shell, but he has a big sound! Requires 3 x AAA batteries (Included).

The i-Turtle speaker is available from the Hasbro Toy Shop website for $19.99.

Robot maker CrabFu is using spare servos from R/C aircraft to create his cool little robots. One of his most recent creations is this tortoise.

The plastic used for the legs is called Shapelock, a material which becomes moldable after you heat it up to at least 150 degrees.

Here’s a video demonstration of the radio-controlled tortoise:

R/C Tortoise is a very simple r/c tortoise “bot” with direct control, using a 4 channel radio system. It uses 4 sub micro servos, and each axis of the transmitter stick controls a servo.

The Japanese toy manufacturer Tomy has created a follow-up to their Walkiebits, a dancing miniature robot turtle released in 2005.

The Rhythmbits dances to music by wagging its tail and moving forward and backward in response to high and low-pitched sounds.

The Rhythmbits robot is small enough to fit in a child’s hand and is manipulated by infrared light from a nearby controller. This controller can differentiate high sounds from low sounds and sends signals for the turtle to move forward or backward depending on the pitch.

The turtle will dance to sounds from a music player or television, or a person can speak in high and low tones to control it verbally.

Rhythmbits is available in six colors and costs 1,575 yen (about $14 USD).
