Create and Control Your Own Cockroach Cyborg With RoboRoach Kickstarter

Do you or your phone want to be a part of the world’s first commercial cyborg? Lucky you because RoboRoach is coming via Kickstarter to a mobile device near you. Pledge $100 or more and you’ll get a miniature communications backpack to attach to a cockroach of your choice. An additional $50 will get you a small cockroach colony, but you can catch your own roaches for free!

Designed by neroscientists and engineers at Backyard Brains in Ann Arbor, MI the tiny “backpack” in the RoboRoach Kit communicates directly with the cockroach’s neurons in their antennas to give you control of their movements.
