SMASH!

Remote Controlled Mayhem.
Cool.

 

Cool Cars

As a kid I was always enthralled with army toys- tanks, airplanes, helicopters, boats, etc. I can’t even begin to recall how much time I spent with my friends playing “army”, leading waves upon waves of those little green army soldiers to their eventual death on our shag-carpet battlefields. I also remember many glorious victories and a few utter defeats. It was what made my life complete.

And now, 15 years beyond my childish army days we have the ultimate in home entertainment: Remote Controlled Laser Combat Cars, available for purchase from Hammacher Schlemmer. These cars represent everything that is bright and beautiful in the world- motorized, remote controlled, last-shooting cars that roll along the floor annihilating each other. How beyond cool is that?

What’s best is that if you can’t find someone to control the opponent car you can switch it to its AI, which is surprisingly intelligent, and more than capable of wasting your car if you aren’t quick enough. The AI will best even the most experienced RC pilots, so watch out! If you can find someone to duke it out with, make sure that you give them a few minutes to get the hang of the controls as they are a bit different from the usual RC setup.

The lasers can be fired as many times as the player wants (though firing the laser causes a few seconds of recoil), and the game itself lasts until one player has hit the other player 10 times. For a few seconds you can shield yourself with an invisible field that will prevent the enemy laser from doing any damage. It’s about skills, quickness, and strategy- I only wish that these were around when I was a kid.

They are available as over October 1, 2007, and are $100 from Hammacher Schlemmer.
