MINI USB

http://www.newlaunches.com/archives/...and_garage.php

The USB controlled RC car and Garage from Solid Alliance surely make it to the Top 3 USB gadgets of all times. What we have here is a garage which connects to the USB and inside is a RC car which is not controlled by a special remote control but by a special desktop application. Using the arrow keys you control the car, the garage doubles as a charging and transmitting station, the car charges fully in 10 minutes. The garage in true Hollywood style opens up automatically for the car to zoom out. The car works in a radius of 1 meter of the garage. Here is a weekend project, make a racing track order 5 of the cars and workplace will never be the same again.

That looks like it says 3,480 Yen which converts to about $30.50. Kinda steep. But if I can find a local source, I might be forced to get one.

I got one for Xmas.
But it isn't working.
I do tech support for a living and I still can't seem to figure out what's wrong.
Grrr. This is spoiling my fun!

I got one too!

I needed to disconnect the USB plug and reconnect it in order for the charging to continue. WHen my PC went into sleep mode, the charging stopped and didn't continue until i unplugged and plugged the USB in again.
