Every year the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) showcases some of the best technology in the country and from around the world. Last month, eager tech companies descended on Las Vegas to show off their innovative ideas and products. Denver made quite a dent this year with three feature exhibitors and a little over 40 main exhibitors. This certainly isn’t all of them but here are nine of the ones we’re most excited about.

Happy May the Fourth Be With You, Everybody!
We’ve all seen the new Star Wars trailer (right?) and we were all left in awe (…right?). We saw glimpses of all our old favorite characters (how good does Chewie’s fur look? What product is he using?), along with so many new things: a new cast, new effects, and a new buddy for R2-D2 and C-3PO, the adorable BB-8.
Let’s chat about this little guy, BB-8. He’s the little droid with an R2 head, what appears to be a soccer ball for a body, and boops and beeps around a la R2-D2. He’s even got his own cute little emoji that rolls around whenever you use the hashtag #BB8.
I know what you’re thinking, “omg, that’s the cutest little thing I’ve ever seen, I wish it were a toy. Omg can that be a toy? Omg, if that’s a toy, I want to know where I can get one, right now.” Simmer down, because it is a toy, and you’ll soon have your very own adorable little BB-8 thanks to a Boulder-based robotics company.
