Having a personal vendetta against cane toads as they almost killed our dachshund when I was 5, I roped in my family to submit an invention for Australia's Northern Territory Government's competition last year (sadly, we didn't win, though it was still genius, of course - http://www.abc.net.au/pm/content/2005/s1356797.htm )

In any case, the NT Government competition had way too many controls around the invention with the organisers wanting it to be a physical trap, when, in my opinion, they'd be best served by a bot similar to Ian Kelly's Slugbot (http://www.ias.uwe.ac.uk/People%20Pages/i-kelly/t ta.htm) as the Cane Toad's spawn are quite distinct from those of native toads - which are beautiful, and we don't want to kill, obviously.
