   Surely the only real tactic would be to try and give your opponent a haircut?

      And those two desperately needed haircuts.

   I can see me getting one, or two, of these at xmas. If only my parent bought me that RC car I wanted as a kid I probably wouldn’t be salivating right now. Time to start building an obstacle course in the back yard 🙂

   This is going to be abused so badly.

   Hmmm…. Lets go have a look at the neighbors upstairs bathroom.

   Peek a boo Mrs. Smith!!

   They also work with Android devices (or at least they have Android versions available). They use WiFi to connect to from the phone to the drone so they are a bit range limited.

   But I guess that depends on how well your WiFi signal goes reaching the neighbors house… Of course Android phones can be a WiFi hotspot themselves so they at least makes it more portable.

   Very cool, and if you are keen you can actually make one yourself for far cheaper. There is a great open source commuinity covering a variety of drones.

   This is one of those things where you explain it to someone and it sounds like the greatest thing ever.

   In practice it’s like some remote control version of laser tag, those kids would have more fun crashing the damn things into eachother.

   Waaaaay more fun.

   and why wouldn’t i just play ace combat or something like that instead? you are still staring at a screen, except you have something completely ridiculous here. and it probably plays that horrible looping music in flight too.

    That does look pretty cool. Apart from the fact I find iPhones atrocious for mimicking “real” controls like that. Would rather it come with a proper control really. Actually, how would you control it if you don’t own a smartphone?

       You don’t. The device uses wireless connectivity to your phone, which functions as a viewfinder and controller. Having a dedicated remote with a large LCD screen like that and controls will cost hundreds more, instead of an app.

       It’s under the assumption that everyone has either an iPhone or Android smartphone these days. Which you’d pretty much have to get if you don’t want to be left behind these days.

          Left behind from what, exactly? Other than controlling toys.

    Yep. Saw these Parrot drones on the Engadget show, pretty interesting.
