I'll bet Dr. Bullfinch is behind this! Where are the helmet and gauntlet?
Invisible Boy was one of my favorites of the series, and the first thing I thought of when I saw this.
Who is WowWee and what is he doing in my backyard catching dragonflies?
aaah...the joy!
The guy looks to be more an artist than engineer, the website says the robot can flap its wings but no flight promises!
We just need to put a camera on this thing and some way to control it over wifi. That would be a killer gadget
The thing doesn't actually work. It's a sculpture only
A dragonfly made me nearly kill myself when I was little, but this one is cool.
The CIA was building stuff like that in the 70s to get microphones close to targets. They also had a catfish of sorts. This one looks a lot better, though, of course, it's 40 years later.
Send this thing to Iraq and attach lasers to it!!!!
I will volunteer to control it remotely.
Lets hope it doesn't get attacked by a hawk!
I want to get stuck in a teleporter with THAT thing.
but can it play doom?
If it kills mosquitoes, I'm good for a pair of them.
to kill all those mosquitoes that come out in the sunlight?
Is there a robo-Gallivespian to ride on it?
yes yes, a non working concept/model firmly throws the ball back in WowWee's court.
i have a origami one that runs on a tiny nuclear slug and can blow up buildings.
game. set. match.
