Rover 'Spy Tank' Wirelessly Controlled by Your iPhone or iPad

Uh... sorry, but that's not a tank.

THIS is a tank.

Presumably it has an unadvertised extendable arm feature, otherwise I'm sort of left wondering how the tanks managed to choose which floor to travel to when they all entered the elevator alone.

Sweet, I would like to give it a try. Also it would be great if it operated on 3G.

The reason why they called it tank is because its just big and clumsy... :)

its actually quite agile to be so large/heavy

re brookstone

are they still in business?
man last time i saw them was in a mall years ago
and way over-priced goofy gadgets
i'll pass

I'd get one if it had 3G control and GPS to aid guidance.

Cool too if audio was 2 way.

Oh well, I don't really need more toys.

Just an iPhone 4 with a bumper.

Yeahh, I can see it clearly now after increasing the resolution from 360p to 1080p.

Is that an iPhone5 we can see in second 31 and again in second 36? Doesn´t look like any previous models.

Just an iPhone 4 with a bumper.

I just want one....

For christmas!

While this looks fun, I wouldn't want to spend that much money on it.

If you've got an iPhone and either an iPad/Mac/second iPhone then there's a far cheaper option. Not as rugged but capable of 3G.

1. Dig out old remote control car/truck from loft.
2. Use elastic bands / blu-tack / tape to attach iPhone 4 to remote control car.
3. Initiate FaceTime call between iPhone and iPad/Mac/second iPhone.
4. Drive.

To be honest, that was precisely the first thing I did when the iPhone 4 came out and I repeated the game when FaceTime for Mac came out too (bigger screen, pumped through to my TV. It didn't cost me a penny since I already had all the Apple stuff and old remote control car. Two way audio too. Bonus is you could probably try this with Skype over 3G if you want although the lag might be a little more noticeable.
