Ignition has been awarded a CES Best of Innovations with its erector set-like Vex Robotics Kit. Developed in cooperation with First (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) and the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute, the starter kit comes with everything you need to design and build a radio-controlled robot that can lift, throw or just move around in its botty way.
Industrial designer Doug Galleti says that the Vex system can “provide ease of construction at an affordable price point – capturing a larger audience of tech geeks.”
Contact Vex Robotics if you have $299.99 to acquire your very own kit and don’t want to share with your kids.

One of the more ingenious accessories displayed at the CES is the compact, lightweight, portable Gorillapod. This tripod, made by Joby, has 360º flexible joints so that you can bend or wrap it around a tree and grippable rings and feet, so that it will stay still while you are waiting for your camera’s timer to go off. At a weight of 1.6 oz and a size of 5.9 x 1.2 x 1.2-inches, it will support any point-and-shoot compact camera that weighs up to about 9.7 oz. Available at Joby for only $21.95, we’re thinking that maybe they should have named this tripod a Monkeypod, because its big brother SLR is also available at $39.95 and will hold up a 1.75 lb. video camera.

CES 2007: Creative Announces X-Fi Wireless Dock for iPod
Posted by Chris Cardinal Categories: Apple, CES, CES 2007, Features, Portable Audio / Video, Wireless / WiFi,
Creative made something of a surprising announcement with their Xdock Wireless product—a “Made for iPod” wireless music dock. The system allows you to push your iPod music out to multiple receivers simultaneously, each of which can drive their own independent speaker sets. The receivers all add X-Fi’s Crystalizer upconversion, which ostensibly improves the quality of even lower-encoded music. No word yet (that we’re able to find, at least) on if they’ll be releasing a similar system that’s compatible with their own Zen Vision:M MP3 players, which use a different dock on the bottom, but the system also includes a remote and video out.
The system will be released in Spring for $199, with additional receivers available for $99. Not a bad way to wire your iPod throughout your house pretty quickly and affordability.
