What better way to store your important files than inside the body a tiny little robot?
These USB flash drives sort of remind me of Futurama’s Bender Bending Rodriguez, what with their bendy metallic arms. But these robots won’t tell you to bite their shiny metal behinds. At least I don’t think they will…
