<p>It is. Until fuckwits get their hands on them.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Imagine the outrage when someone decides to film themselves playing golf.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Wait until they are common and much smaller and every event you go to has some nob tossing one of these in the air. 'Look at me pulling dumb gang signs in the crowd at the rugby". Look at me paddleboarding" "look at me ...."</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Still, I'd like to have a play with one.</p> -

<p>In the FAQs I also noticed that their top speed isn't great, so if you hoon off too fast you will leave it behind.</p> -
<p>It's only got to keep up enough for the <a data-ipb='nomediaparse' href='https://www.facebook.com/TeAtatu/videos/vb.737694913/10152278732164914/?type=3&theater'>eventual accident or tumble</a>. The older I get the slower I go too. :)</p>

<p>My brother caught this on news.com.au I guess they don't employ anyone to review comments.</p>

<p>Were on line for $200 this week on pre-order. Has no collision avoidance software but that's coming in v2. Know someone with one on way so keen to have a play</p> -

<p>It's a fucking selfie stick - without the stick - you piston wristed gibbon! :)</p> -
Look, I'm well aware of the narcissistic properties of the item. However, they are trumped by the cool shit. It fucking flies and follows you around. <br><br>
Yes, its main application will be fluffybunnies videoing themselves doing normal shit, and "epic" selfies, but right now it's essentially a flying robot, like the start of T2.<br><br>
And that's cool, you piston wristed gibbon -

<p>So does a pet budgie!</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I'm fucked if I know how they're doing it for $200 though! You'd have to think it's not going to work anywhere near as well as in that video.</p> -
<p>yea, i am a firm believer in "you get what you pay for" and $200 is laughably cheap.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>A fucking budgie isn't a fucking robot that could be mounted with weapons, it's a noisy bird for old people. Flying potential death machines = cool. </p> -

<p>Tie a (small) stick of gelignite to it and light the fuse - see what happens. Actually, Barry Crump wrote a story about that, but it was a hawk and it circled back and flew into their hut. </p> -

<p>You're the reason double happies are banned you fucking sicko</p> -
<p>When I was at high school, we went on a rugby trip to Geraldine and got billeted out. I got sent to this wealthy farming family out of town.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>When we arrived at the place, their (fairly deaf and not surprising) father said, "Oh, are you going to fire the gun, boys?"</p>
<p> </p>
<p>I thought we'd be going rabbit shooting, but these fuckers had bought an old artillery gun at an auction.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They welded a base on a piece of metal piping, filled it up with blasting powder, inserted a fuse, tamped it all down with dirt - stuck a bigger bit of metal piping over the top - shoved it all in the breech and lit the fuse.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We waited, with hands over ears.....................................................................then <span style="font-size:36px;">BOOM</span>....WFFWHIP, WFFWHIP, WFFWHIP... as the metal piping spun through the air.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>They reckoned it had a range of about a kilometre.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Not sure OSH would be too impressed about that as a school trip activity, these days!</p> -

<p>They might be better then. Dogmeat's saying above you could get them somewhere for $200 pre-ordered though.</p>
