This little wind-up bot from Brazilian toymaker and environmental activist
Chico Bicalho does a spastic jitter when you let it go. In fact, all Bicalho's creations are goofy, jumpy critters that are pretty much the opposite of what you'd expect from a robot. They shoot sparks, wobble lopsidedly on their wheels, and hurl themselves upsidown if given a chance. I'm lucky enough to own one, called a Sparklz, that is a wobbly fire-squirter. Check out some videos of Sparklz and its crazy bot friends below.
