Zyro, a drone you can play tennis with, Ep. 193

Culture
Hey guys. My name is Stephen Beacham and here's what's happening this week on CNET's Crave blog. The Nintoaster 2.0 is a beautifully designed retro model of a 1950's style toaster in an 8 bit Nintendo console mashed up into one shiny device. The Nintoaster was created by Finnish artist Jarno Kotavuopio, forgive my pronunciation, and is the second version of. Nintoaster series. [UNKNOWN] was not the only one with a nintoaster. In 2008, another major made a whole series of Nintoasters and posted them on stupidfingers.com. And there you go super [UNKNOWN]. Medical technicians in the Netherlands ran a full CT scan on an ancient Chinese statue of Buddha. And discovered a monk was entombed inside. The mummy inside the statue is the only one of its kind ever found and is believed to be a Buddhist master named Liuquan of the Chinese Meditation School, who died around 1100 A.D.. Attempting an ancient self-mummification process to reach a state of higher enlightenment. Monks who had achieved this type of self-mummification would be venerated in temples and would become a living Buddha, while those who had failed would remain entombed but respected for their attempt. [MUSIC] And just because it's awesome, here is Mary Poppins performed in death metal by YouTube user Andy Rehfedlt. So good. [MUSIC] Zyro is a new startup currently raising funds on Kickstarter to turn an aerial drone into a ball for sports and game. The Zyro drone is controlled via mobile app and will act like a tennis ball or any kind of ball for that matter. Reacting to your swinging motion using a special racket connected to a Zyro wand. You can set field dimension parameters ranging. From 7 by 7 feet to the size of an entire football field. When the drone hits a virtual wall it will bounce off the wall back into the field. Up to 8 players can play games with the drone, using it to score goals through football goal posts or just playing catch with your friends. The drone is protected by a circular band guarding 0 players from. The sharp, quad, copter blades. Ouch. The zyrodrone can be yours for $449 which comes with the drone and one wand. The 899 package contains the drone, a wand and four drone remotes so that players can hook up their own drones to use as controllers in the game. Read more about the zyrodrone ball at zyrogames.com.
