ISOPOD Robot Watcher May Become Man's New Best Friend

The ISOPOD Robot Watcher is something every household needs (if it ever gets put on the market that is). Imagine you could find exactly what you needed from your attic without actually going up there. This little guy will help you do reconnaissance for those ever elusive Christmas decorations.

Even for more practical applications, the ISOPOD Robot Watcher could help you address any structural/electrical problems in your house that you are unable to physically get to.

I could see this guy being used by home repair and contract companies as a scout to figure out any problems that are unsafe for humans to investigate. It's a very cool little device.
