Toys!!

Well my mate got me a preysant yesterday.

Here's a shot of them





It's motorized, and runs around on treads. But it's unstable so I had to attach a cart made of Popsicle sticks.

Claps hands and says 'Ta-Da!'

some toys are great fun to have, especially if it becomes a bit of a hobby.

these micro heli's are only about 30 bucks, and i rekon i got about 100 flights out of 6 ordinary AA's that charge it + power the transmitter.


pretty easy to learn to fly good, can have 3 of them flying at once, and they take a whole lot of abuse.

Yeah, and just think once micro cams come out you'll be able to stick one onto your mini-RC heli and make your own Google Earth!

Are those very loud?

Have you seen any on youtube? Here's a neat one, but prob. not the best. Looks like you have to fly them indoors only?

Every generation has it's own toys, and they can help define that generation. I'm going to really date myself here and post a Pic of my favorite childhood toy.......
The Incredible "Mr. Machine"

Marvin Glass and Co were the inventors of 'Mr. Machine'. They also made a toy which I liked a lot.



Very clever how they simulated a radio command. You set the command on the remote control then exhaled sharply as you said it. This (ideally) caused a metal plate to flop backwards in the 'mouthpiece of the remote control, completing the circuit.

My favorite toy growing up was my imagination. I would day dream like no other. Of course I had G.I. Joes, but they were just a tool. I still day dream and envision frequently.

Those robots looks awesome

Ever noticed when a kid has a birthday party, frequently the adult men have to check it out. See how thing work, and fiddle with it for a little bit?
