Robo Rucksack

150_jamesscowcroftbe1Six-year-old James Scowcroft came up with the idea of a talking schoolbag, which can remind students of the things they need to pack.

James devised his Robo Rucksack, with flashing antenna and five buttons to allow the owner to pre-record messages, as part of a museum competition.

James’s bag was judged the best and turned into reality by design firm Innovate.

James said he is keen to keep on inventing in the future, with a rucksack that helps with the cleaning next on his list, along with a time machine to allow him to see the way his mum looked “in the old days”.

The Museum of Science and Industry in Manchester, England sponsored the competition. I want two, as I repeat myself too many times about packing a schoolbag every morning! Link ~via Arbroath

    I’m putting my name on the waiting list for the rucksack that does the cleaning…

    Whatever you do, don’t bring that thing to Boston!

    there has been a recent wave of inventive tots and their new gadgets. the ideas all seem perfectly in-line with what you’d expect from the mind of a kid, but the execution of the concept appears to be more in-line with what you’d expect from the mind (and abilities) of an adult. all of which is fine, but the impression that the article suggests is that this sweet six-year-old generated a working prototype on his own as well…which is very, very unlikely.

    Is that the best idea his parents (I mean little Jimmy) could come up with?

    Does it really need the antennae?
