Look at this thing, if it was all black I’d think it was straight out of Magnum PI. It’s a miniature Hughes 300 helicopter that is remote controlled.
Well, the practicality of it might be a bit exaggerated, but its by far more practical than an 8 story tall mech standing in your back yard as you build it. Basically this guy gave his computer chair working legs.
For years, Gary Seamans is depending on the 1,000 gallon propane tank that’s buried under his backyard to keep his home warm and fuzzy. But monitoring an underground system in Midwest is not as convenient as what we have in the city. He has to walk couple hundreds of yards with a flash light to [...]
Well, its sort of USB, sort of PCMCIA. You see, its wireless, and the receiver connects via USB.
But the card, with receiver, can be stored in your PCMCIA card slot to keep it safe, and keep it from getting lost. It’s pretty nice too, its thing, small, and has all the buttons to control various [...]
Lantic Systems has released a solid gold version of it’s already expensive RC1 remote. The circular remote will control just about anything and everything in your house. Try not to panic every time you lose this $55,000 remote between the couch and the wall.
Bizarre ways to control familiar items always make me tingle in my otherwise-forgotten parts, so I was illicitly delighted to see Philippe Kindelis’ simply-titled “TV Remote Control”.

Mainly because they have frickin’ lasers. So, laser tag is fun. Flying RC helicopters is fun.
Combining the two with RC helicopters that shoot, and receive, laser beams just like laser tag, well that’s Head-Explodingly fun. The fun is only compounded by the fact that a laser hit makes the copter spin out of control and [...]
Really you could stick it anywhere, but why buy a waterproof LCD unless you are going to put it somewhere you’d be worried about it getting wet? It has a Sharp 10.4” LCD built into it.
There is also a pair of speakers built in for stereo sound. There is even a waterproof remote control.
Over the past couple of days, RobotsRule’s Robert Oschler - long-time tipster of all things servo-actuated - has been dancing a taunting dance before my jealous eyes, and crowing about having received his TOMY i-SOBOT robot. I’m surprised to report that I’ve kept my cool, and instead drowned my sorrows in the new English version [...]
