Laser are now selling these cool tiny 4 inch things! The perfect
prezzy
for a Gadget Freak...
"Independent Control of the Tank Tracks allows you
to
spin in place and maneuver in all directions. An obstacle course created
from
everyday items will provide endless challenge - all at a moments notice.
With
Plenty of Torque, the Rover can push and climb over objects like a
Mechanical
Billygoat. Its Radio Controlled Fun that can fit in your pocket! And it
won't
take over your closet space - The Storage Case fits on your Bookshelf!
Every
Desktop Rover is equipped with our Infrared Laser Tag system, enabling up
to 4
Desktop Rovers to have mock "laser" battles complete with spacey
sound effects and flashing LED's to keep track of your "ammo" and
score. After receiving 10 "hits" your Rover is
"neutralized" until the next game begins. This is the smallest
R/C
tracked vehicle ever to be equipped with laser tag! Send commands to your
Desktop Rover from your PC or Macintosh! Our microprocessor controlled R/C
electronics were designed to enable computer interface! Plantraco
Telecommander
Software (with supplied interface cable), connects the handheld remote
control transmitter
to your PC. You can create, edit and send a series of commands from the
computer to the Desktop Rover - wirelessly, and even over the
internet!"
£29.95 + vat from Laser (while stocks last)

Call that radio control? Phoey!
