Brookstone Rover Spy Tank

Got to play with a new toy for a day.

This is a Brookstone Rover. It's a RC tank that's controlled through an iOS app using a Wi-Fi link. On the front of the tank is a camera, and the image is relayed back to the screen of the iOS device, thereby allowing NLOS remote control and target acquisition.

The most immediate application I can think of is utilizing it as a mobile weapon platform, with the primary mission being to haraSSS (the extra S is for extra harassment) innocent office workers by unleashing at them a barrage of Nerf N-Strike darts.

Other suggestions are welcome.

10 mpix goodness, but only about half the original file size. JPEGMini is cool.

Behold, the Luxgen 5 Sedan Cometh!

Dear Mr. Kenneth Yen

I like your new car. I do. However, I think you should know that a lowly Bimmer 325i can and will blow the doors off any Luxgen. So, your ad agency is seriously overcooking things. Please tone it down, before the folks at Bayerische Motoren Werke collectively laugh their asses off.

That said, I do find the car appealing. I've always wanted a Feeling 101, but I don't think there is a single one left that is still running. This new car, in a way, is the spiritual successor of the original Feeling. That, I must say, is totally rad.

And that is why I am imploring you to offer honeycomb style rear lights as an option. A descendant of the Feeling without honeycomb rear lights is like a Rolls without The Spirit of Ecstasy on its hood. It's just wrong.

Please take time out of your busy schedule to correct this travesty. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Tom
