Mythbusters RC Motorcycle on TV
On a recent episode of Mythbusters, they started talking about a video showing someone hydroplaning a motorcycle over a large area of water. They talked about the physics and how it may or may not work, and decided step one was to try it with RC motorcycles! I’m surprised they didn’t give a call to our own hydroplane expert Craig [...]

Anki Drive Hits Apples WWDC
We saw our first glimpse of the Anki Drive vehicles and track at the Apple WWDC this week, and I have to say it has us drooling a little. Looking past the hiccup they had during the live demo, it’s close to a dream. Anki is a company with a much bigger goal in mind, they have some long term [...]

It’s been about 167 hours since we last hung out. Many new things have happened in the last week, but we’ll probably ignore all of them and talk about Adam’s hair, my cat, whatever we’re blaming Brian for this week, and Craig’s hats. All that talk about RC stuff is just a ruse to get a bunch of people to [...]

When we first met Adam he was about this tall (I’m holding my hand about a foot above [...]
Vaterra Glamis Unboxing Video – Big Squid RC Style
Have you seen those 20 minute rc vehicle unboxing videos, where they don’t even touch or open the box for the first 10 minutes? Yea.. you know the ones.. we fall asleep too!
