Fat Shark offers one of the coolest remote controlled toy cars.
Its system has a camera mounted in the car's driver's seat. It transmits its signal wirelessly to VR-style goggles that give the operator a first-person view of the terrain ahead of the car itself. That alone would be neat, but the camera has pan and tilt functionality that the driver controls by simply moving his or her head to "look" in each direction.

After updating, Pleo will be lethargic for several minutes. Coax him back into his regular self by petting him and hanging out with him.
Don't worry - upgrades will not alter your Pleo's personality, just give him more ways to express it!

Turn any faucet in your home into a streaming fantasia of techie-bliss. Just attach to the end of your faucet, and when the water flows through the magic chamber, it simply turns on the LED array and illuminates the stream with soothingly powerful hues.
You get to choose between two different Faucets.
Blue LED - Always streams BLUE LED's
Blue/Red LED - Normally streams BLUE LED's until the water temperature hits 89 degrees after which the LEDs turn RED! Which is the real geeky toy! IMHO.
