Mini HoverDrone is just big enough to be annoying
It seems like everyone is selling R/C helicopters these days, but most of them can be pretty tricky to fly, and cost way too much to be an impulse purchase.
Not so with the Mini HoverDrone, which will set you back by about as much as a pair of movie tickets. Flying it couldn't be simpler, with just an up and down slider control to think about. The down side is that that's all it does, hover at various heights without moving around the room. The buzzing and hovering is probably just enough for a kid to be really annoying if you're trying to read or watch TV, but at least you won't have to worry about them crashing it into the china cabinet.
The Mini HoverDrone is available now for about $20

It's still pretty cool especially on a slow day for an obese slacker who doesn't want to get off the sofa.

Sweet! Can we build one that will autonomously fly around and make metal gear sound effects when it sees motion? That way I can play Metal Gear without my PS2 (too poor for PS3).
This is just like those annoying Cypher things that always spotted me whilst I was shooting at them.

we won't have to worry about it "...crashing into the china cabinet..."?!? How naive are you? Kids will find a way. Heck, adults will find a way.
