Nerve: Koreannovation 2008: Ringbo, The Riding Robot

No, I didn’t ride this. Yes, I wanted to. No, they wouldn’t let me. After we got past that little tiff, I found out that Ringbo is a pretty cool little driving machine from Airrobot.

Basically, Ringbo is controlled by the two handles you see as his ears. They swivel forwards and backwards controlling Ringbo’s movement. Ringbo himself responds to said movements, and can talk in either Korean, English, or any other programmable language. His other neat little feature is that he has motion sensors (the black bar at its base) in the front and back, so he won’t crash. Fun, and safe for kids! And not full grown bloggers, apparently.



Now, I need your help Materialistas. I have a video posted below of the Ringbo in action. There’s a totally ridiculous song playing in the background (listen to all the lyrics), but I’m pretty sure it’s an American, pop, 80s song that’s been corrupted into some sort of terrifying anthem about singing a happy song, and eating ice cream. So can you guys watch the video, and tell me what the song is?
