usb robot 4-port hub is more hub than robot

The incorrectly named USB Robot 4-Port Hub has 4 twistable USB ports and no discernible robot parts whatsoever.

You can twist each port up to 270 degrees, although off the top of my head I can’t think of why I would need to do that. I mean, it’s pretty cool and all, and it’s a fun way to anthropomorphize your USB action, but I’m not sure if it’s strictly necessary in terms of functionality. The hub folds up into a nice, neat square when not in twist mode, sort of like a super lame Transformer (Nightbeat, anyone?)

Also, it seems unnecessarily HUGE. You can get one here for $12.
