It's a neat take on the age old problem, but I would so murder this thing if I had one.
"When the alarm clock goes off and the snooze button is pressed, Clocky will roll off the bedside table and wheel away, bumping mindlessly into objects on the floor until it eventually finds a spot to rest. Minutes later, when the alarm sounds again, the sleeper must get up out of bed and search for Clocky. This ensures that the person is fully awake before turning it off. Small wheels that are concealed by Clocky's shag enable it to move and reposition itself, and an internal processor helps it find a new hiding spot every day.

Professor: "Allright people what do we make this thing look like?" " How about you Johnson, what do you think?"
Johnson: "I say we make it look like either a meatloaf with wheels or a big fuzzy turd that rolls"
Proffessor: "Damnit Johnson, Im glad we keep you around here, thats genius" |

It resembles a mini cake too much. That early in the morning, I'd be liable to mistake it for breakfast. :confused:
"Adam, why is your belly beeping?"
"I think I'm going to self destruct." :blink: |

It's made from carpet to dull the "thud" sound of it rolling off the table nukka :D
Still, not bad for an MIT grad project. |

I already have my alarm clock sitting up on the dresser about 6 feet from the bed. If not, I've been known to turn my alarm off without waking up.
I actually have to have my alarm on so loud that it used to wake the neighbours....along with everyone else in the house. There are occasions still where I can sleep through it for a couple minutes and wake up from someone banging on my door. |
