Remote Control Battle Beetles

Posted December 28, 2007 8:13 AM

From OhGizmo!:

If you think the Discovery Channel is the best place to learn how beetles battle for insect supremacy, you'd be wrong. Why just watch them fight when you can actually be in control with these RC Battle Beetles from Sega-toys. Using the dual channel remote you can move your beetle in any direction and even control one of the front appendages that can be used to flip your opponent. In between matches, or during the off season you can also use an included training target to keep your fighter in peak condition. Of course a quick recharge using the remote won't hurt either.

I left my reply on the OhGizmo! website......

To save you time, gentle reader, I put it here too:

"The people who design these toys, are in the business of selling batteries."

Kind Regards....
