It rolls. It jumps. The jumping is downright startling.
This jumping robot toy freaked the bejesus out of us. It was rolling around, minding its own business, then BAM! It was on a four-foot-tall platform that looked like a kitty condo.

Also, it’s tablet/smartphone controlled and features Wi-Fi and an onboard camera that sends video back to the controller device.
