Giant Grapples contolled by Tiny Wiimote
See the two gigantic yellow arms, with claws? Those are robot grapples, each with the power to lift 50 tons, and spin at 70 kilometers per hour (12 revolutions per minute). I’m sure that control of these metal monsters must be difficult, but Simon Wittber from the Australian firm Transmin has greatly simplified it using a Wiimote for controls. That’s right, the very device used to play WiiSports is now …

World’s Fastest Remote Control Car
I remember when I was a kid, I used to love to look at pictures of The Blue Flame and the Budweiser Rocket. They looked more like rockets than cars, and broke several land speed records. It would appear that someone has put this speed in miniature remote control form with the Picket Rocket, which is most likely the world’s fastest RC car at 161 miles per hour. Designer Nic …

Silverlit Heli-Mission
This next product is for those who had those Stephen J. Channel TV-action dreams in the early eighties. I’m talking about The A-Team, The Greatest American Hero, even 21 Jump Street.

The Remote Controlled 100 Foot Water Cannon
Few things bring out the kid in adults like having their hands on a water cannon. You don’t have to run around, you just choose an unsuspecting target and blast them with water. With this you don’t even have to be anywhere near them. Giving you plenty of time to get a head start before they tackle you to the ground and steal the cannon from you. You just have …

Silverlit Kazoo Indoor Kite
It’s summer right now in my little corner of the world, and there is nothing that I like better than to go out in the sun and wind and fly a kite. However, if I wanted to, I could just stay inside, watch TV, and fly the Silverlit Kazoo indoor kite. I know what you are thinking the moment you saw the title: an indoor kite? What are you, nuts? …

Blueguard Self-opening Doors
Even before the recent Star Trek reboot, we were always fascinated by the technology from that science fiction franchise. It wasn’t just the warp drives, food synthesizers, and transporters, but something all too simple: self-opening doors. Yes, for some reason, the United Federation of Planets outlawed the doorknob sometime before the 23rd century, and all doors must open with an odd swish sound effect, provided the user is in close …

Takaratomy Q Steer R/C Mario Kart
Now this is how you get your kids to go outside and play. Buy them a toy that’s highly similar to their favorite video game. Granted this method isn’t advised for kids that play the more violent games. Somehow I see telling them to go outside and pretend they’re playing Grand Theft Auto in the outdoors causing some issues. However, for those that enjoy Mario Kart, you can pick up …
