Robovie-X is a new robot kit from Japanese DIY maker ATR. Not only can it use its fully-programmable 17 degrees of freedom and optical distance sensors to follow moving targets and fire at them with a surprisingly powerful plastic missile launcher, it can also, apparently, shed its armor and dress up as a jazz-hands-waving Foghorn Leghorn or a white-gloved Michael Jackson archer. You know, if you're into that kind of thing. Check out more pics and a video of the missiles in action after the jump.

Top 10 Sexiest Halloween Costumes for 2007
In honor of the autumnal season and one of our favorite pastimes, here's a roundup of the Top 10 Sexiest Halloween Costumes in the entire world. After all, Halloween is a holiday for goblins, geeks, goons, weirdos, trolls and merrymakers of all stripes, so we knew the Giz readership wouldn't mind if we posted a few non-gadget costume pics (I can see Blam rolling his eyes already). And hey, it's gadget-y, too—heck, one of these babes is wearing handcuffs, isn't she? Anyway, we're not sure if it's the costumes themselves or those comely lasses who are wearing them, but either way, we find each costume appealing in its own inimitable way. Check out the gallery after the jump, which includes a few NSFW shots, so beware. More »

Who says people get to have all the Halloween fun? Dress up your dog in this iPhone Halloween costume and he'll be the envy of all the other mutts. On the other hand, wearing this getup couldn't be much fun for the poor guy. Nevertheless, this is a brilliantly executed costume, even better than that Darth Vader dog costume we showed you in the past. It doesn't quite reach the level of that Croc-Eat-Dog masterpiece, though. In this case, someone really knew what he was doing when he put this one together, with meticulous attention to detail and craftsmanship—even laying down what looks like plexiglass for the iPhone's touchscreen. And what's that? A leash where the iPhone's headphone jack normally is? Brilliant. [Gregory Hull on flickr, via Make]

With Halloween just a couple of days away, you may find yourself searching frantically for that last minute costume. If any of the following outfits are on your list, strike them off immediately —for these are costumes likely to result in a severe ass kicking. And nothing ruins a Halloween faster than wedgie-induced taint rippage or having the hottest woman at the party kick you in the nuts. Enjoy.

Darth Vader Dog Costume
OK, originally, this was a post about an authentic looking Darth Vader costume. Browsing the site's extended branches, I bumped into this much cooler Darth Vader costume for Dogs, with cape, belt, and helmet. Original post is below, but for those who disbelieve dog is man's best friend. More »
for casual friday?
Somebody went to a lot of trouble to handmake these Farty Pants, and the story behind this sewing mastery is a mystery. However, we'd much rather look at a visual representation of said emissions than actually experience them in an aural or olfactory sense. Anyway, this unusual garment might make a splendid Halloween costume. [Neatorama]

Halloween Costume Greatest Hits: Dead Pixel
This is one of the easiest and most innovative costumes I have seen today. The geekiness inside all of us absolutely despise dead pixels and this costume shares our hatred. I still don't understand the link between dead pixels and diskettes, though. And good luck explaining what you are to almost everyone you see out tonight. More »

iAttire Just In Time For Halloween
It's ok not to have friends sometimes, but I'm afraid this is really pushing it. iAttire demands you deck out your iPod in costume for Halloween so it can go out trick-or-treating with you. These "limited edition" outfits run the gamut from cowboys to bikini-clad sex goddess. They're handmade so expect to shell out some bucks for these. They are entertaining however and come in costumes for shuffle, mini, and regular iPod. My favorite is probably this vampire costume for the mini because it's simply rediculous. Reminds me of those old Ren & Stimpy episodes where they'd play with LOG. More »
