It’s not RoboCop you have to worry about - it’s the RoboBoa that is the newest in [robotic technology](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/engineai-robotics). With 4 motorized sections, this robot can move around just like a [real snake](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/keyboard-design1). Hell, it can even dance.

RoboBoa will twist and writhe to beats that you plug into it with its built-in audio jack. It can even scan a room and interact with objects.

Lastly, the RoboBoa can even shoot you with lasers. A laser snake? Yessssss!
