When your sick, the last thing you wanna do is get out of bed and go chasing your tissue box, which is exactly what you might have to do if you’re unlucky enough to have a sibling or spouse cruel enough to use this Remote-Controlled Tissue Box to lure you around the house like a beggar following a dollar bill ...

Hell must have frozen over because Red Bull is no longer restricted to energy drinks. It’s just released the latest drink in it’s product line, Red Bull Cola. Apparently, it tastes similar to RC Cola and contains no high-fructose corn syrup, a selling point that could prove key in future marketing campaigns. I can’t remember the last time another big ...

Remember that R/C Tortoise and the Swashbot, from the folks at Crabfu? They’re still hard at it, coming up with some awesome new robots. The latest on the line is the Putter Bot, a remote-controlled golfing robot. Actually, make that putting robot as I doubt this little guy is capable of a long drive without a driver. Getting through the ...

Recalling my childhood, I had some really interesting and quirky toys as a kid. From Sewer Sharks to Mighty Max, there was always something new, colorful and exciting to discover about them. Now it’s 2008 and shitty raps and bright colors don’t cut it anymore. Kids want excitement. They want realism. They’re going to both want and ask you for ...

I was skeptical at first glance, as they seemed like any other RC copter I’ve used. Then I actually played with it. It puts other remote-controlled toys to shame. It takes some getting used to, especially ...

While the product is designed with RC model airplanes in mind, the Pilot View Realtime First Person Video system is an all-inclusive kit for the hobbyist that wants to take their project to the next level. You attach the kit to your plane, throw on the goggles and let loose. In turn, you can experience a view from the skies ...

Since none of us are going to own a really fast car like the Ford GT anytime soon, we might as well settle for something just a tad smaller. This Ford GT R/C car is not only stylish and 1/5th the size of the original; it can also do speeds up to 60 MPH thanks to a 23cc engine that ...

If you’ve been saving up your cash so you can own your own Ford GT Nitro, forget about it. It’s not worth the novelty when you can own your very own 1/5th scale remote controlled model of the car for a fraction of the price of the real thing. And when we say it’s a scale model, we mean it, ...

Here’s a pretty cool remote control concept I came across. Touting itself as a no-touch Remote Control, the device designed by a Dutch Student for Bang & Olufsen features an unorthodox mechanism which entails sweeping your hand through a vacant space in the device in order to control your TV. To change the channel, just slide your finger through the ...
