One of the things I love about racing radio controlled cars is the fact that you can thrash the cars round the track without any thought or care for the car itself. It’s just a toy, therefore you can take corners at speeds (scale speeds obviously) you wouldn’t normally consider in your own car.
I always […]
Now I own a game called Mr Soccer, where you control robots on a football field with radio controlled devices, and try to kick the ball into the goal. The game comes with two robots (England and Brazil) but you can have several players on each side.
This version I’ve just found features penguins, kicking a […]
The two teenagers who invented the radio controlled reconnaissance plane won first prize on Thursday night at the International Science Fair.
The students were awarded trophies, medals and a prize of $1,500 each for their invention, which allows the user to perform unmanned reconnaissance via a radio controlled plane. The US Air Force provided them with […]
If you’re a real lazy gardener, the sort of person who thinks gardens are for drinking in and letting your dog use as a toilet. The sort of person who has ‘a man’ come round a few times a year to perform ‘magic’ on the grass to make it shorter; then you’ll be interested in […]
A couple of kids have created a project that they displayed at Atlanta’s ‘Intel International Science and Engineering Fair’ named Radio Controlled Reconnaissance: A Bird’s Eye View.
Alexander Wold and Jerald Farke explain the concept of their RC flying reconnaissance invention. I doubt it’ll be too long before these guys end up working for the military […]
In the world of photography there are a great many different techniques for getting the right photos, the right effects and best setups. Using radio controlled toys to assist isn’t something many photographers would have considered, however Alan Ramsdell from Sandford, Maine, USA, has been using radio controlled helicopters for photography for many years.
Alan works […]
This is conclusive proof that kids shouldn’t be allowed to invent things, nor indeed should they be allowed in public, or to be around sharp objects. Their stupidity could prove dangerous to themselves, and to others.
Three moronic Americans have somehow managed to get press time for their ‘invention’ of sticking two rolls of bog roll […]
An estimated 5,000 people are believed to have showed up for a radio controlled air show at Bury, St Edmunds last weekend for the Rougham Airfield’s Model Aircraft Show. The show was a veritable feast for model aircraft and RC enthusiasts with helicopters, planes and gliders were all on show.
To cap the whole the event […]
You’d get some attention if you turned up at your local radio controlled car track with one of these. The sound alone is enough to make people run away in terror and take their RC cars with them.
From the look of the barrel too it could do some serious damage to anyone or anything in […]
Rick Maida of Morgan Hill, California, has had his prized collection of radio controlled planes stolen from outside his home. Rick is avid radio controlled model plane enthusiast and he kept his most valuable models in a trailer outside his house, and on Monday night this week his trailer was stolen, with the planes inside.
