    No more Tx's ; Just THINK your boat around the pond

    An article in today's L.A. Times describes a project between an outfit called Deeplocal and Toyota Prius Concepts where a bicycle known as the Prius X Parlee has been built which changes gears simply by thinking "gear change" while wearing a helmet stuffed with neurotransmitters. Also, two new apps, at the Apple App store, controlled by mental power - after purchasing a neurotransmitting headset - are now available from developer Mind Games in Iceland.

    So it's time for the techies at Futaba, Spectrum & others to get busy & come up with a mind-controlled Tx/Rx setup. Imagine just thinking : Go ! Turn ! Lane One (in conjunction with a pre-programmed gps map)! Is this the future of RC ??

      I think you should go through a thorough mental exam for such a device... and have you ever seen a completely sane rc boater?

            This is like demolition man stuff!... As I recall wearing a helmet to have sex was not satisfying, in the movie... I think it would take all the fun out of it, ill keep my tx rx.

            That being said that is some amazing tecnology.
