With out trying to be childish, my second thought was, "I'd love to whack that thing with a bat".

I cant think what or how, but it seems to me that are more refined, more rugged version could give rise to a brilliant game / toy type thing. Yeah, Im sure their ideas for its uses are way more sensible. But, well, I want to whack it!!!

Yeah, whatever invention is, playing with it seems to be the first wish. Quidditch should be so much nicer with this robot.
