hey guys my name is Stephen Meacham here just happening this week on scene at scribble the bro ball is simply a football with a speaker embedded inside I know what you're thinking why why not football is fun music is fun so why not marry the two into one interesting device the bro ball is a product from invincible audio and is touted as the only durable waterproof Bluetooth speaker designed as both a speaker to play music and a football to play catch the bro in bro ball stands for bringing rhythm outdoors and that is just what they have done with this product the Bluetooth speaker has a range of up to 50 yards and has excellent sound quality according to the product video and can float and be submerged in the water without damaging the speaker the ball has even been dropped from a high atop a few buildings and survived according to the video the bro ball is currently seeking funds on Kickstarter to start production and can be yours for the pledge price of $59 and on if you plan on purchasing pepper the emotional robot from the Japanese company Softbank you must sign a piece of paper stating that you will not have sex with it according to a report on Daily Mail calm the creators of Peppard the emotional robot have forbidden users from using it for sexual purposes creating sexy apps for it or reprogramming at the stock people pepper sold out almost instantly when it went on sale in June so I'm sure that this comes as a major bummer to some who bought the robot and goes against crave writer Bonnie Burton's beliefs that sex robots are the future and should not be banned did I mention that she's married to r2d2 make sure you read Bonnie's crave piece on the subject then you make the call should humans be able to have sex with robots yay or nay researchers have successfully programmed drones to autonomously build a rope bridge that can support the weight of a human being a research team from ETH Zurich worked in collaboration with the Institute for dynamic systems and control and grim Osseo color research to program a swarm of drones that could potentially save lives in the near future the rope bridge was built by the drones and ETH Zurich flying machine arena and was supported by scaffolding on both sides of the room that acted as the anchors for the drones to secure the rope bridge to the drones use a special spool of rope attached to the bottom of their frames and communicate with an offshore computer that processes algorithms and translates them into commands which is then transmitted back to the drones helping them with the building process once the rope bridge was complete the researchers tested it out with their own bodyweight to show that the bridge could potentially support a human crossing in a life-or-death situation flying drones are currently being studied for how they can best be used in search and rescue operations and so far for me this is definitely a step in the right direction alright guys that's the show thank you very much for watching as always you can find all these new stories to see that's Krave blog I crave about cnet.com make sure you follow crave on twitter at crave and check out this week's crave giveaway this week's crave giveaway is the Civic's jam stick plus portable smart guitar if you want to be a digital guitar hero go to the blog and enter to win
