This is a pretty cool RC toy from Japan. Bandai has announced the Sky Armor, a remote-controlled robot that can fly around using not one but two propellers. The robot stands 17cm tall and weighs 21g. One battery charge (30 minutes) is enough to play with it for 4 minutes.
The Sky Armor will hit Japanese stores in the next days (price: $45). Contact specialized stores Japan Trend Shop, Geek Stuff 4 U or Rinkya to get one shipped outside Japan since it’s unlikely the robot will ever be sold outside this country.
Watch this short video to see the robot in action:

LOL BigBallsSteven I love it! You must be an Aussie. Sky armour, brilliant I love it my little boy will love it. It would want to be robust.
A bit risky IMO getting one sent over, and them not ever selling them over here…
Ahhh ! Me want !
These things really need either faster charging or long lasting batteries.
Charging it for half an hour so it’ll run for less than 5 minutes is ludicrous.
