Billed somewhat incorrectly as being the world’s first wing-flapping robot when, in fact, it would appear to be no more than a remotely controlled device, this RC Dragonfly is interesting none the less and, though impressive, I personally find the Cybird featured in this post rather more impressive. You can [...]

Quite why anyone would want to resurrect a deceased Guinea Pig by turning it into a remotely controlled device wholly eludes me, but in this curious video your Dutch host, known as Tinkebell, offers instructions as to how this can be achieved with a step by step walk-through which, thankfully, [...]

Sorry ladies, but anyone who has ever watched a woman try to throw a ball really ought to have seen this coming. As Wii fever continues to take hold reports are already emerging of women behaving very strangely in front of these white boxes and now, rather than just relying [...]

From the offset I should stress that the model featured in the following video clip is by no means a standard scale model but an extremely detailed, finely crafted self-built 1:3 scale replica constructed from individual finely tooled components complete with an exact, working scale replica of the 312PV’s 24 [...]

The majority of us have perhaps erected a Swingball or inflated a paddling pool in our gardens to give the kids something to do outdoors having prized them away from their Xbox or Playstation. I very much doubt, however, than many of us have even considered building our own roller [...]

I must confess that I was rather intrigued with this video which shows a collection of imagery taken of Japanese scarecrows. Now I know what you’re thinking, a post about scarecrows – just how many beers has he had? But, believe me, these are nothing like the scarecrows I have [...]

It has to be said that the Japanese can always be relied upon to come up with some of the most bizarre and frankly weird things ever conceived and, as further evidence of this – as if any were truly needed – we now have a curious walking motorbike. Unfortunately [...]

I stumbled across this video by mere chance and I felt compelled to post it as the skill shown by the operator truly belies belief. As if flying a remote controlled aircraft with any degree of panache is not hard enough, to conduct stunts such as these in what appears [...]
