Into useless but amusing toys? Then look no further than the Brainzord Window Climbing Robot. The Brainzord’s suction cup based vacuum system allows it to climb up and down windows with ease. It’s smart too – when it runs into barriers an auto-reverse function kicks in to keep the window sucking action going all night long. And the best part is that the robot’s “brain” pulses away as it climbs.

If you are wondering what the point of all this is, I’m not sure myself. I guess it’s like owning fish. They don’t do anything, but looking at one swimming around in a tank is strangely hypnotic.
