It’s a sad fact that mass shootings have become an all-too-common occurrence in the US. Defense tech company Axon has announced what it states will be a new means of resolving such incidents quickly and relatively safely, utilizing a drone equipped wit… Continue reading US mass shootings prompt development of Taser-wielding drone
Consumer drone technology is advancing by leaps and bounds, yet we mostly just hear about aerial drones. Underwater drones “are a thing” too, and I recently had a chance to try out one of the best – Chasing Innovation’s Gladius Mini S.Continue ReadingC… Continue reading Review: Gladius Mini S sets the standard for consumer underwater drones
Montana, rightfully nicknamed the big sky country, is a beautiful state with abundant wide open landscapes, mountains, and wildlife. It’s a fantastic place to visit or live, but if you …read more Continue reading Saving Birds With 3D Printed Boats
Researchers at Northwestern University in Illinois have demonstrated the world’s smallest remote-controlled walking robot, at just half a millimeter wide. Such tiny machines can bend, twist, crawl, walk, turn and jump without hydraulics or electricity…. Continue reading Smallest-ever remote-control walking robot uses shape-memory alloy
While the GoPro Hero is still pretty much the name in actioncams, it can sometimes be fiddly to operate, plus its battery life may be too short for some uses. The new Volta is designed to address those shortcomings, combining one-handed controls with a… Continue reading GoPro Volta brings more power, remote control and a minipod to the Hero
Once the steering wheel is taken out of cars altogether, there will still need to be a way to deal with weird “edge case” situations that an autonomous AI can’t figure out. That may require human drivers to stay on standby, ready to take the wheel by r… Continue reading World-first trial puts remote-controlled passenger cars on UK roads
While wheels might seem like a foundational technology, they do have one major flaw: they typically need maintained roads in order to work. Anyone who has experience driving a Jeep …read more Continue reading Tracked RC Vehicle is (Mostly) 3D Printed
As a child, [David Windestal] already knew that a belt sander was the perfect motor for a banging radio-controlled car. Many years later, the realization of that dream is everything …read more Continue reading Boring Belt Sander Is RC Racer In Disguise
For those building their own remote controlled devices like RC boats and quadcopter drones, having a good transmitter-receiver setup is a significant factor in the eventual usability of their build. …read more Continue reading Reverse Engineering a 900 MHz RC Transmitter And Receiver
With all the futuristic technology currently at our disposal, it seems a little bizarre that most passenger vehicles are essentially the same thing that they were a century ago. Four …read more Continue reading RC Snowmobile Makes Tracks on Ice
