For dads on the move, at the office, in the gym or just sitting on the couch, here are some great practical gadget ideas for last-minutes shoppers
Father’s Day is fast approaching and for those who have yet to get a gift, fret not – there are plenty of practical, fun and affordable gadgets on the market to suit dads of all ages. Here are eight suggestions.
The fun-loving dad: Mi Robot Builder
Help dad unwind after a stressful day at work with the Mi Robot Builder, a hi-tech toy with almost a thousand pieces that assembles into a movable robot. Courtesy of two high-speed brushless motors, the two wheels move it around while maintaining perfect balance – even when supporting up to three kilograms in weight.
At the heart of the Mi Robot Builder is a 32-bit central controller with up to 12 hours of battery life. Four USB type-C ports let you recharge it and interface with other components. Drive the assembled robot wirelessly using your smartphone, or program it through a modular graphic programming interface using drag and drop.
The kit comes with a thick colour guide on assembling the robot, and you can access instructions to build other templates online. Xiaomi says it will offer even more in the future.
