Ok so I have designed something - now for the big time

I still cant grasp exactly what it is or what it does. How does it differ from a normal RC vehicle apart from the control method. Does it just roam around looking cool or can you sit it on the doorstep and aim missiles at the bailiffs?

I think to be fair it's aimed at the older market (30s to 40s) who remember the original toy and are looking for a bit of nostalgia.

The re-release was aimed at the nostalgia market, this is technically for the toy market. Although as it is fairly hackable it will appeal to the older market too.
 
Bit outdated isn't it? I remember in the early 90's having remote controlled robots with missiles and vehicles that can follow pre-programmed commands. This thread could rate as the biggest disappointment of the year. Has anything actually been "invented" here?

BigtrakXTR is one of many possible products I have either designed or invented for next year, so yeah things have technically been invented. I am updating this thread as they become reality.

The thread started for something I did invent - went nowhere as yet. BigtrakXTR came along later which I designed - not invented.

Plenty of new "inventions" to come.

So your telling everyone about a product that never took off? Even if it does take off, the amount of pages this thread now has is really a waste of time?

As far as I understand he cannot reveal the product that originally got this thread started. If it had been given the go ahead of course he could have told everyone what it was. Not that difficult to understand and not his fault everyone has taken such an interest in it.

Keeping his cards close ro his chest I think :)

^ Exactly.

What happened with this thread originally was that I was presenting something I made to major toy companies - thought it would make an interesting thread.

That has not really gone anywhere in terms of licence or production, and while all this was happening, I designed a new Bigtrak under licence. So the thread has taken a different path to the original.

As for other stuff I have done that is all under wraps for obvious reasons. I will update this thread as they are released.

Maybe just Maybe some of the products will appeal to you guys here, and it would be cool to know how you like them.

Not expecting everyone to love all of them - that is an impossible task for a designer.
 
This thread is incredibly hostile. At least the dude is trying to make something of himself. Most of you just live through your monotonous lives, waiting for the weekend to come upon you so you can play games and watch tv.
