rc-lawn-150x150 DIY RC Lawnmower

Heres another cool project that deserves some recognition. I think everyone should own one of these lawnmowers. People will start enjoying mowing their lawns or even offer to mow their friends and neighbors lawns. If I had one you would see me sitting on a comfortable chair drinking a nice cold beer while mowing my lawn. A great and fun way to get the chores done. =)

Airbots - Flying robots that fight

Jan 11, 2008 in Other, RC Helicopters

Airbots

Currently still in the development stage, Airbots by Wiz Corporation are flying robots built for fighting. Airbots designer Kensaku Kusunoki talks about the development process: “There are many toys that you can play with on the ground, such as remote control cars, but there aren’t so many toys out there that you can play with in the air. So if you’re thinking about designing a remote controlled flying toy, you normally think of a helicopter shape, but in order to reduce the cost i decided to make it wired to the controller. The next thing I thought about was how to make it lightweight, so I came up with the idea of using styrofoam in the shape of a robot for the body. Lastly, I wanted to make it easy use to without a lot of complex controls, so i made it work simply with just a pull of a switch.” The design of the Airbot is yet to be finalized but distributor Happinet Corporation are planning for a November release in Japan.
