Hydrofoam
I stumbled across this video after a friend sent me to Best free video clips for a cool geeky science video. (hat tip to B.G.)
This is a way cool R/C toy that's apparently not for beginners. Being an absolute beginner, I want one anyway!!! However, cooler heads prevail in this want as the price is at least $250 and I'm sure I'd destroy it in no time. Watch this video and be completely surprised! I'm sure you'll gasp...
The designer's site is here. (The site is not Firefox-friendly; use IE. C'mon, Michael!) Many apparent knock-offs are available on the web. One site is featuring video of Michael's, but I don't think it is his site. Perhaps it's the site he's chastising for stealing his video to generate sales. I hope Michael gets proper remuneration for his work. It's an amazing design that's awesome to watch in action on a video. I bet it's breathtaking in person...
