I love pinball, but I don’t think I’m lazy enough to play it vertically…with a remote. Okay, maybe I would. There may be a few benefits to upright pinball: Like not hurting your back, being able to sit comfortably, it saves space in your home etc. But at $119.95 it’s cheaper to play one of the many far superior console versions of pinball. Plus that HUGE remote isn’t a winning me over. No, it’s not a good idea to play pinball in this sacrilegious manner. You will look like a tool because that’s what you are.
Dr. James Brighton put a ton of hard work into transforming a gas guzzling Hummer H3 into a remote controlled vehicle. The project took around a month to complete, and it’s said to be the largest radio controlled vehicle.
If you want one, it’s going to cost you of course. At least $70,000. That’s one expensive RC car. It might be fun to have your friend inside while you control it, speeding up around cliffs and stuff. Just don’t wreck it. It’s not like you can just pick it up and dust it off and get going again.Check out a video below.
This device explains a long held theory of mine. Geordi LaForge was not blind, he was controlling remote-controlled vehicles when he should have been focusing on his engineering duties. The Pilot View FPV 2400 is designed for use with radio-controlled aircraft and cars.
There’s a wireless camera in the cockpit that sends live first-person footage to the freaky goggles that Fabio is wearing in the pic.(Wait that’s a gal. Sorry.) It’s a pretty awesome idea, but for $549, there are probably better ways to spend the money. And let’s face it, they need to up the design of the visor.
Remember being a kid and spending hours in the tub playing with your trusty buddy the rubber duck? It didn’t take batteries, it didn’t talk and it had no flashing lights or engine, yet somehow he stayed afloat.
Meet the future of rubber duck technology. An R/C Rubber Duck with a wireless RF transmitter, so you can guide your duck anywhere in a tub as long as the batteries have juice. 5 minutes of charging time will give your yellow friend about 15 minutes of life. Like all ducks, this one is of course, waterproof. It will retail for £14.99. Though I’m not sure what it is we are accomplishing here, I mean most tubs are of such a size that you reach your arm out and your duck is never far away. I’m guessing this means that rubber duck races are about to get really intense.
Merely months after cranking out the CTR-350, CradlePoint has upped the ante with the even more portable PHS300. This bugger enables a selection of handsets and USB cellular modems to create a “personal WiFi hotspot,” and unlike its sibling, this one sports a built-in Li-ion to keep the connection alive (for a few hours, anyway) where there’s no AC outlet in sight. Furthermore, you’ll find WEP / WPA security features, an integrated firewall and the ability to charge up your phone via USB if necessary. Sound like just the thing you need? If so, you can drop your pre-order in now for $179.99 and patiently await the December 20th ship date.
Those still not satisfied by the range of portable 3G routers currently on the market now have another option to consider from CradlePoint, which recently introduced its battery-powered CTR-350 travel router. It’ll either connect directly to a cellphone or to a USB modem (or a wired Ethernet connection if one’s available), giving you an instant WiFi hotspot compliant with 802.11 b/g standards, along with all the usual security measures you’d expect from a router of any sort. What’s more, if you’re in a pinch, the router can also be used to charge any cellphone that supports charging via USB, although you’ll of course need to find a more conventional way to charge the router itself. If that sounds like the peripheral that you’re mobile office has been missing, you can order the router now directly from CradlePoint for $150.
