Pink helicopter

I had a PicooZ for a while, though not the pink one. I found that it wondered about the room at random even when it wasn't being told to go anywhere, which probably explains why I found it quite difficult to guide when I was giving it instructions. I've seen on-line videos on the retailers web site where it was being flown a lot more accurately, and other people haven't compained, so maybe it's just me/my room/my helicopter.Comment

The head of executive security for a large bank in England has just bought a pink helicopter.
I know 'cause I was there when he bought it.
He had me take him to the shop, normal hourly rate of course.

We used to have remote controlled helicopters back in the days before remote desktop.
Used to save us walking up the stairs when we could fire up the helo and see what the stupid user was doing from the live video link.

Science isn't about why, it's about why not. You ask: why is so much of our science dangerous? I say: why not marry safe science if you love it so much. In fact, why not invent a special safety door that won't hit you in the butt on the way out, because you are fired. - Cave JohnsonComment
