I bought our girls one of these toys off Ebay (used, couldn't find it new anywhere). http://cgi.ebay.com/Zig-Zag-Zog-UFO-Saucer-/160481326166

I knew that Wany Robotics in France was involved in the design. It's basically a Scribbler-sized robot for infants that beeps, flashes lights, spins and rolls around randomly, using some obstacle detection. It's fun for the kids to chase around and they really enjoy bopping the alien on top of it. Really does nothing that a Scribbler couldn't do, it just has the added character on top that functions as a switch when the kids whack it. Long story short, a Scribbler or the upcoming S2 are pretty capable robotics platforms, and they could make good toys for babies or probably pets, too!
