I believe you would be hard pressed to find a reader of the TechRepublic Geekend Blog that does not have a noticeable admiration and fascination with robots and robot-like gadgets. So it is natural to assume that a robot geek gift will always be well-received.

Check out the Geek Gift Guide Blog post for a full review.

Our Rovio is all charged by stuck in its docking station. However, once I got it home, I was cruising around the house in about 5 minutes.
