Remote control vehicles have been around for ages, but it’s only in the last few years that they’ve moved from anoraked pastime to boy’s toy and stocking filler. And yep, we’re thinking about Christmas already.
In preparation for the holiest (and greediest) day of the year, we’ve taken a look at the RCs that give micro machines a run for their tiny money.
Fair enough it does look like a bungled op by an amatuer back street surgeon, this case is a Bi-Pedal robot from Taiwan University that should be grabbing the attention for its balancing antics but the computer geek face makeover, is getting all the glares.
In the world of remote control toys there are just a handful of two-wheeled affairs, most using lame looking stabilisers to stay upright but this lastest arrival takes much more skill to stay upright.
Friends of the slightly annoying pliable plasticine pal of “gallery” fame rejoice, folk who have never heard of Morph hang your heads in shame, time to make amends quickly and cheaply!
We’ve had robots trying out levitating skateboards for space travel and jet-pack power is an almost ancient technology now with no one seemingly able to perfect it, perhaps this back-to-basic method could be scaled up?
Those rides outside supermarkets are the bain of every parents life, you make promises of “if you’re good” on the way in and then have to feel for small change with your hands are full on the way out, you MUST let the children ride however, they never forgive or forget!. This discovery lets them ride all the time and will make your kids the most popular for miles around…..At a price.
Snag yourself this set of wind up Windsors and set your Union Jack at the finish line before taking bets on which mechanically powered character will prevail in your ludicrous race.
Slot car specialists Scalextric have released this limited edition box set of the mini trio ahead of next years 50th anniversary celebrations.
