The radio controlled flying cockroach comes with a realistic body and a helicopter type mount propeller to give it added flight.

A perfect unusual gadget to remind you of some of the apartments you may have seen during your starving student school years. For $70, you can pick up this R/C toy which includes the cockroach, a multidirectional remote and a docking station which provides five minutes of flight time with each thirty minute charge.

Sure, the economy has gone down the toilet and you should probably save your money, but heck, how can you pass up on this remote control golfer. Perfect for the office where you can take a break to practice some putting when the volume of paperwork prevents you from actually heading out to the golf course.
Test your skills with the remote control golfer as you position him, choose his club (from a driver, an iron, or a putter) and swing away! Variable power swing control allows you to apply just the right amount of power to your shots whether you’re driving or putting. Address the ball after each show with your fully directional remote control which also serves as a golf bag to store your clubs when not in use.

Watch a cat madly chase the red dot emitted by a laser pen and you pretty much have the principal behind the infrared tracker remote control car. This is a clever piece of technology which simplifies the process of driving an r/c car. Point to where you want the car to travel and it will simply follow the red dot to the destination. The one limitation of the car is that it can only track the red spot up to a distance of five feet, so if you are looking to move the car great distances, slow and steady is the course for the day.
