Volvo builds a R/C!

Look at this video of Volvo's electric 1:5 scale XC90, used to carry sport equipment such as javelins.

Oh. :( :rolleyes:

That's a pretty slick little method of transporting equipment! It's good to see RC being put to good use.

Yep:)

RC is also put to use in the military, rovers in the bomb squad, and as sort of a scout. They also have the UAV's that are RC too, but those are a good bit more complex :p RC is used in underwater exploration for places where it's either too deep or space is too little for divers. Also the RCs that explore other planets, etc.

:D

That Volvo thing is neat though. It's also subliminal advertising :D

If you can't get the video to work then chances are you arent using IE (Internet Explorer) :p

Very cool car though, i'd love to have the job of driving it :p

Maybe Ferrari should make one, too :eek: :eek:

I am using Firefox, and it works fine.

I don't know if I would want to pilot a large RC car toting javelins in a crowded stadium.... ::poke:: "Hey, watch where you go with that thing!!!"
