Quad-copter Flies by Voice Command
Not likely to be on the toy shelves anytime soon, but if you’d like to fly RC helicopters but can’t quite master the controls then this little robotic quad-copter might be just what you need. It’s controlled by voice commands. In this video it’s abilities are demonstrated using first an iPhone then a headset to tell it where to go. (Hackaday)

Quad-copter Flies by Voice Command
I’ve been doing a lot of research lately on both RCs and airsoft guns. They could be a lot of fun if the two were combined. This guy took the idea and scratch built himself a replica RC tank. The RC tank from the looks of it can haul a good amount of weight. In the video on his webpage he had what my guess would be is his daughter taking a test run to see how well the RC would perform. Overall this is something I would consider doing in the near future. In my case though I would be adding a lot more gadgets than just a working cannon. For now though I think my wife would be leaning more towards something smaller like these other two videos.
