FlyTech Bladestart - Sensor driven flying blade
     


At CES 2008 robot manufacturer WowWee announced the successor to their
popular Flytech Dragonfly robot.  Instead of a wing flapping robot like
the Dragonfly, the Flytech Bladestar is a flying blade that comes
equipped with sensors for obstacle detection to give it near
autonomous flying capability.  In fact, you can guide it using your
hands since it's infrared sensors will move it away from them.  You can
also pilot it using the remote control, which also acts
as the recharging station.An additional attachment allows two
Bladestars to dogfight each other. It was expected to be
available this February but does not appear to be in Target's inventory
yet, the retail store that at first will be the exclusive seller of the
unit.  You
can see the Bladestar in this video from
the CES 2008 show.
