Create and control a cyborg! Are you a teacher or parent that wants to teach a student about advanced neurotechnologies? You are in luck! The RoboRoach is the world’s first commercially available cyborg. With our RoboRoach you can wirelessly control the left/right movement of a cockroach by microstimulation of the nerves in their antennae. Stimulating educational possibilities The RoboRoach is a great way to learn about neural microstimulation, sensory and neural adaptation, and electronics. The RoboRoach backpack weighs very little even with the battery, and each battery will last over a month. Following a brief surgery you perform on the cockroach attaching the silver electrodes to the antenna, you can put the backpack on the roach and control its movement for a few minutes before the cockroach adapts temporarily. When you return the cockroach to its cage for ~20 minutes, it "forgets", and the stimulation works again. Just add roaches Once you receive your RoboRoach in the mail, follow our online surgery instructions and videos and you will soon be on your way to joining the ranks of experts in neural interfaces. Afterwards, you can clip the wires and retire the cockroach to your breeder colony to spend the rest of its days making more cockroaches for you and eating your lettuce.

Horrible to do this to s living creature. Straight up sociopath toy.

Horrifyingly cruel and barbaric!
I am horrified that such a cruel and barbaric item is for sale! This is shameful, cockroaches are sentient creatures, capable of feeling pain and suffering, to subject them to such callous cruelty is an absolute disgrace.This requires a child to totally disregard the pain and suffering of a living creature, to feel no empathy for it at all, is this really what we want to teach our children?

Disturbing concept!
This is disgusting and extremely cruel! I hate roaches, but why in the world would anyone want to torture something like this? And what are you teaching kids??? That it's ok to torture things in the name of science??? And then what? They go on to torture and do "surgery" on rodents and then cats and dogs?!? Serial killer starter kit, for sure!
