RC Space Insect – creepy…
Remember the RC anti-gravity car that was so popular last year, thanks to Top Gear’s GMTV prank? Well, this is that in insect form.
Weighing just 46g, the remote control ladybird or spider can climb up walls, across mirrors and even upside down across the ceiling! (Note – DO NOT walk it across the mirror when [...]
