greetings citizens of the internet welcome to tomorrow daily as a pesky talk-show in their own universe I know talk shows usually have more than one person in them these are our many episodes until our new sets finished so with that being said let's hit the headlines there's a very interesting new drone in Japan that might turn heads if it ever takes flight over Tokyo Rho M semiconductor and its subsidiary lapis semiconductor unveiled the or Izuru a drone made to look like a huge paper crane just like you made when you were really into origami when you're 12 years old the or Izuru has a remote control and it replicates the motion of an actual bird in flight as it sails through the air it's got a 3d printed skeleton made of nylon filament and it runs on the lazurite fly microcomputer designing the or zuru took about three months and our hom hopes to use it as a lure to work with venture companies and startups sadly you won't be able to buy the or Izuru at your local hobby shop since our hom doesn't plan on taking this design retail so for now I guess you'll have to just hope that they release the design open-source and then you can build it yourself alright moving from drones over to personal transports the company ninebot based in China bought Segway earlier this year and now they are unveiling the very first of their products since the acquisition this is the ninebot mini a much more compact version of a Segway intended for more discreet personal transport it's kind of reminiscent of any one of the electric transport options we've been seeing pop up lately but it's got a major advantage over its competitors price most current options easily cross the one thousand dollar mark to buy but the ninebot minis price clocks in at the equivalent of 315 US dollars if you want to get your hands on a ninebot mini as soon as they drop well you're gonna have to go to China next month since that's the only place it'll be available for now but there are plans for a European release soon enough and if all goes well there I'm sure a United States release cannot be far behind fingers crossed okay so now moving from really cool personal transports to robots our favorite topic on tomorrow daily let's check out these cute little robots that are teaching kids to code X Google employee vikas gut has a daughter and he got to thinking about how he could teach her to code so he founded a company called Wonder workshop and it has one singular goal making coding fun and easy he's using robots to help achieve that end now dash and dot are friendly looking robots that kids can program with the use of a companion touchscreen app so kids will drag-and-drop code modules to choose how the robots move and play and the app sort of guides the user through the programming process now there's dot which is the single orb and dot costs fifty dollars and has a little bit of a simpler range of abilities and can't move while - on the other hand costs a hundred and fifty dollars but has wheels for movement programming since most kids here in the US don't start learning coding until high school and even then it's an elective and not required Wonder workshop seems like it offers a really great way for kids to get into coding as early as six years old which is pretty cool so nice work Wonder workshop okay guys that's it for our headlines it's Monday let's talk about crowd funding our we talked about robotic arms a lot here on tomorrow daily and now maker arm is going to let you buy a robotic arm of your very own maker arm is a three axis robotic arm that can perform a variety of tasks including fabricating assembling both resin and filament 3d printing milling soldering and even painting think of it as a really really futuristic Swiss Army knife I mean it even decorates cakes for crying out loud look at this thing they're also plans for third-party app support and custom scripts in the future and a browser-based control system lets you pull up your controls for your maker arm on just about any device as long as the browser supported so smartphones tablets PCs you name it as long as you got a browser that supports it you're good to go obviously you want one right yes well so do i but you're gonna have to shell out fourteen hundred dollars for one on kickstarter and it includes one tool head of your choice now they want $350,000 they've got just under two hundred thousand dollars and there are 22 days left in the campaign so we've got 22 days to find a whole lot of change in our couches start looking alright guys let's talk about our phone Dawg over the day our phone Tiger for the day day is kin Chuck who took this delightful picture with his iPhone 5c and he wrote to us and said hi my name is Ken Chuck and I live in Amsterdam I took this photo while I was on vacation in Turkey I took it with an iPhone 5c my first smartphone exclamation exclamation exclamation acts with so many exclamation points you guys Ken shook congratulations on your very first smartphone welcome to the future we hope you're enjoying it there's so many apps that you'll be able to use on your iPhone 5c to take even better pictures I hope you start discovering those but regardless of apps this is an amazing picture and I totally dig it and I thank you for sending it to the show if you want to be considered for our phone timer for the day segment send us your picture to tomorrow at cnet.com make sure you include permission for us to use it on the show your name your beautiful photo of course and a story about it if you have one and also make sure you tell us what device you took it on because we'd love to know what phones you took your pictures with alright guys that is it for the show if you want to find us on social media we're at tomorrow daily on a bunch of social media sites like Facebook and Twitter I'm at Ashley's sceva on Twitter producer Logan's at Logan Moy and that is it for the show guys share it tomorrow daily com we'll be back tomorrow with a brand new doc and a weird wonderful science fact meeting science fiction but until then vegan humans we'll see you next time bye
