The Teague Radio Ball is a Kickable Music-Maker

— May 9, 2010 — Tech
Soccer games would be a lot more interesting if they used the Teague Radio Ball. This radio is sweet for so many reasons, the biggest being that it is housed in a ball.

The Teague Radio Ball changes stations when you roll it and adjusts the volume of the music when you spin it. A novelty ball radio would have impressed my simple mind, but designers Benoit Collette and Adam Kumpf took it a step further and knocked my socks off. Check out the video to see the Teague Radio Ball in action. I want one now.
