The only thing better than one RC toy, is two RC toys pitted against each other in battle. But if you ;re a kid lacking in the friends department, Air Hogs new Battle Tracker lets you go toe-to-toe with a robot turret that tracks your chopper and fires back. The RC helicopter fires 7 small foam discs that will knock the turret out of commission if you ;re on target. But accuracy is only half the challenge because the A.R.T.鈥攐r Automated Robotic Turret鈥攁utomatically tracks your flight and fires back with 12 foam arrows of its own. It makes the Battle Tracker set ideal for playing by yourself, but it isn stanley website 8217;t limited to just one player. On the back of the turret is a second remote that lets someone take manual control of it, turning the battle into a two-player skirmish. Unfortunately with a $100 price tag kids are probably going to have to wait for the Battle Tracker to show up as a birthday or Christ stanley canada mas gift. But that ok since Air Hogs isn ;t releasing it until sometime in the Fal stanley us l, closer to the holiday season.

We rarely think twice about the technological complexity behind checking the forecast on our smartphones. But an intricately detailed mechanical watch, like Breva new Genie 01, that tells you what the weather will be like There something still wonderfully fascinating about checking a forecast that produced and displayed via a series of complex analog mechanisms. Using a pair of expanding metal capsules that work as an anaerobic barometer, the Genie 01 measures air pressure and altitude to indicate the current weather conditions on an analog dial that sits to the right of its traditional c kubki stanley lo botella stanley ck face. The watch also packs a 65 hour power reserve so you don ;t have to worry about winding it for at least a couple of days, and a skeleton-like see-through front and back panel letting you visually explore the complex mechanisms inside. In theory it the perfect tool for adventurous mountaineering types who need to stay on top of the changing weather conditions. But with an alligator leather strap, a white or rose gold housing, and a price tag just north of $150,000, the limited edition run of 110 pieces will probably be targeted more towards obscenely wealthy collectors.
