Claim:
1. An aquatic toy comprising: a body having a propelling mechanism in communication with a power supply to propel the toy when placed in a liquid; a control circuit configured to control the power supply to the propelling mechanism, and further configured to transition the aquatic toy between an activated state and deactivated state based on predetermined instructions; a conductivity sensor having a pad, the conductivity sensor being configured to monitor a conductivity of said pad, the conductivity sensor further being in communication with the control circuit, wherein the control circuit has a first set of conductivity instructions configured to transition and maintain the aquatic toy in the activated state when the conductivity of said pad indicates the pad is in a liquid and the control circuit has a second set of conductivity instructions configured to transition and maintain the aquatic toy in the deactivated state when the conductivity of said pad indicates the pad is dry; a timing circuit in communication with the control circuit, the timing circuit having a set of timing instructions configured to only transition the aquatic toy from the activated state to the deactivated state when the conductivity of said pad indicates the pad is in a liquid for a predetermined amount of time; and a shock sensor in communication with the control circuit and configured to send a shock signal to the control circuit when the body is moved, the control circuit having a set of shock instructions configured to transition the aquatic toy from the deactivated state to the activated state only when the conductivity sensor detects said pad is wet and after the timing circuit transitioned the aquatic toy to the deactivated state and only when the control circuit receives the shock signal to indicate movement has been detected by the shock sensor.
