Wake yourself up with the hovering blowfly alarm clock

Having trouble waking up in the morning? The Blowfly recently won third prize at the 2005 Taiwan International Design Competition and is an alarm clock which literally takes off and must be caught and returned to it’s docking station, by which time you should be far from oversleeping and being late.

This does potentially sound like a great idea, when the alarm is activated a propeller starts to spin which helps the BlowFly take off and to help get you out of bed the device also makes ridiculous noises. On paper this could be a winner but looking at the practical side some other things need to be considered, how does the device know at what height to actually fly and what is to stop the thing whacking you in the face in the morning!
