You see kids on the street yelling. When you get closer you find that they are having a frog race, with the Kfotz frog. (Kfotz is "Jump" in Hebrew)
The simplest one is battery operated (even possibly with wheels). There's a more expensive one which works on air pressure (you step on it to fill
it's throat balloon and then it jumps when it hears a loud sound). The most expensive one hears it's name, and jumps only to that.
(You could teach it any name by holding it's paw).
I'm looking for a $100K investment and it will be baked and distributed.

Today I bought a IR remote-controlled matchbox car for 20 pounds and raced it over a pool table obstacle course against my flatmate's car. It does not repeat not suck. Can the Kfotz compete with this level of unsuckiness? |

I picture a scenario where the kids decide to have a Klotz Frog race in the house. Oh the cacophany yelling & screaming & stomping! I need a half-dozen of these right now, for my nephews and some of their friends. It's my sworn uncle duty to send my brother's kids the loudest toys I can find, and what could be better than ones that use the children's own engery? |

is it me or is all this pretty damn silly.
pashute - it croaks
gen washington - I'm sold
he doesn't mean? does he? this is a dead frog, the frog is no more, the frog has ceased to be, this frog has expired, its an
ex-frog. |

[bm] more like a ribbiting idea? |
|
| |
Tom Sawyer meets the digital age. Kewl. Is it realistic-looking enough to make the girls holler? (grabs a kfotz and stuffs it into po's backpack...) |
|
| |
po, language barrier confusing you? Croak = ribbit |
|

I'm serious about the baking. |
|
| |
You're serious about touching the halfbakery for $100K? |
|
| |
half, the control mechnaism is written in the subtitle of the idea ("summary of the idea" text field). |
|
| |
And the response solution is simple. Make them "hard of hearing" (the cheaper the mic the better) so only when you get close enough and yell loudly enough they work. You can also have different tones activating them. |
|
| |
And about the technology for a single name reco and the price of this technology, I'm sorry to tell you that I know what I'm talking about (I'm an expert in the field) and its easily bakeable at an extremely low price. (Less than $5 for manufacturing and could probably go down to less than a dollar)
Also there are many further ideas I have, including more expensive but more interesting solutions for this toy. |

If this place had signatures, that would be mine. |

5, even 6 years, n'est pas? |
|
| |
This is possibly the most important idea on the halfbakery. |
|
| |
Perhaps not a very high bar; a frog could clear it. |
|

I’ve never seen a better candidate for the List of Fully Baked Goods. Whether the funding arrives or not, this froggy funding feels fortuitous. Jumping Jehosaphat, this will change the world. |
