Most of us hate cockroaches. That’s right! You’re crazy if you love them. Jose Halloy and some colleagues at the Free University of Brussels have created tiny robots that act like Pied Pipers and can trick roaches to follow them. These robots were sprayed with a little bit of roach scent and programmed to choose crowds over darkness, and the roaches automatically followed the robot wherever it went, making them easy pickings. Now that’s cool!

Some Chinese dudes are inspired by Michael Bay’s new movie and decided to create their own Autobot X2 “Bumblebee”. The “robot” was made of Citroen C2 and weights at approx. 1,400 pounds. It costs for around $8000. Too bad this Bumblebee doesn’t really transform.
