If you are thinking of being an all star slugger when you grow up, why not pester your dad to get you the Jet Hitter baseball robot? This robot was created by Japan’s Meiji University and Yokohama-based metal recycling company MRC, where it allows one to practice hitting baseballs alone, just in case you don't have a younger sibling to boss around being the ball boy. Each time you step on a button at the robot's base, a baseball will pop up, remaining suspended between 10cm and 20cm above a nozzle on a jet of air, where you can hit up to 70 balls (in quick succession or on your own sweet time - you're the boss), since that is the maximum amount that the Jet Hitter can hold. According to Meiji University and MRC, several Japanese pro baseball teams have already started using the $7,700 Jet Hitter. Good luck locating all 70 balls once you are done with this!

If there is one thing that I hate, it is lawn mowing. Perhaps I should get one of those remote control lawnmowers, like the GOAT. I know that can’t afford a riding mower, and don’t have that much of a lawn to use it with. What I wouldn’t give to have this riding scooter.

The Lawn Mower Scooter is designed by Vicky Petihovski, and I believe that it is a way of making America’s least-liked chore more fun. According to the specs, it has an electric motor that can drive the blades and scooter.

That means that you can ride the scooter while the blades are doing the work. It can reach up to 6 kilometers per hour, and it can collect the cut grass inside of it. There is even a transparent window so you can see inside of it, and tell when it is time to be emptied.

Speaking of empty, I don’t really see a place where the engine will sit. I also don’t see where to put the gas, assuming that it runs on liquid fuel.

If you ask me, this lawnmower scooter looks like it is meant to be a toy, and it reminds me of a Radio Flyer wagon. However, would you feel comfortable giving a child a lawnmower? I mean, I would feel comfortable letting a teenager mow the lawn, but seeing Dad playing with the lawnmower scooter would definitely inspire a child of any age to want to join in the fun.
