Incred-A-Ball – Remote Controlled Golf Ball

remote controlled golf ballAdd some humor to your next golf game with the Radio Controlled Incred-A-Ball Golf Ball. This ball will have your golf partner scratching his head, wondering how in the world the ball flew in the opposite direction of his swing.

Detailed to look like a real golf ball, it zigs and zags at a touch of the remote control, allowing you to fool golf partners as they watch putts drift wide of the cup at your command. The joystick on the remote control lets you direct the ball within a 100’ range. The ball can operate on three different, selectable frequencies, which allows you to race two at a time.

And due to its small size, it obviously works best on smoother surfaces. And once the battery gets drained, you can easily recharge the device because it comes with a 1.2V rechargeable battery. But you will also need a 9V battery and 1.5V AA batteries [not included in the package], in order to get the remote control to work, too.

Manufacturers also recommend the owners to avoid using this cool gadget in sand, water, or snow as it would surely break down.

Say “Goodnight, Moon” From your Own Room with the Remote Control Moon in my Room

moon in my roomYou don’t have to go to the moon to say “Goodnight” because you can bring it in your room now. The Moon In My Room easily mounts to a wall with three different hanging angles.

Just like the real moon, this lunar light turns on and off as darkness comes and goes. Just hang it on your wall and the built-in light sensor illuminates the moon when the room gets dark. Unlike the real moon though, the Moon In My Room will cycle through its 12 phases every time you press the infrared remote control, or set it to cycle automatically. The 12 different lunar phase settings allow you to match what the real moon looks like outside.

Lunar Phases:

• New Moon
• Waxing Crescent
• Waxing Crescent 20% Full
• First Quarter
• Waxing Gibbous
• Waxing Gibbous 80% Full
• Full Moon
• Waning Gibbous
• Waning Gibbous 80% Full
• Last Quarter
• Waning Crescent
• Waning Crescent 20% Full

You’ll also discover as much as the man in the moon because there’s a 15-minute audio CD that contains exciting facts to learn about the moon and its relationship with planet Earth. It only needs three AA batteries and two AAA for the remote control to work. To extend battery life, it has an auto shut off function.

So, why not give this out-of-this-world gift to your young explorer and to your friends who love it too?

Black-I Robotics Landshark DUCGV

Black-I Robotics Landshark DUCGV (unmanned crossover ground vehicles) are faster, stronger, and more affordable than most robots on the market today. The design has been recognized for its use in military operations and has been awarded an $800,000.00 contract from the U.S. Governments Technical Support Working Group (TSWG). They plan on developing and testing low-cost, robust, and mid-size unmanned ground vehicles that can be used for defense and homeland security operations.

Black-I Robotics utilizes (COTS) commercial-off-the-shelf in conjunction with propriety hardware and open source (JAUS) software. This technologically scalable core robot chassis makes it adaptable to several major markets. Applications can be used to assist First Responders, military and non-military EOD, SWAT, hazmat, physical security, firefighting, search and rescue, reconnaissance, battlefield casualty extraction, surveillance and target acquisition. With integrated software technology Black-I Robotics intends to create the most adaptable and affordable unmanned ground vehicles on the market.

Brian Hart founded Black-I Robotics Inc and incorporated it in 2006 in Tyngsboro, Massachusetts. He was a senior executive in pharmacy automation when his son, 20 year old PFC John Hart, was killed in action in an unarmored Humvee near Taza, Iraq, in October 2003. He left a Fortune 50 Pharmaceutical company in 2004 to push Congress for safer military vehicles. His development of the Landshark DUCGV is in hopes that there will be less military causalities and less families suffering from that type of loss.
