Vroom! The BlueDrone Is An RC Car You Steer With Your Android Phone

Ever since I was a tyke, I've had a special lil' nook in my heart reserved for R/C cars. I'd rocket them off stairs. I'd build terrifyingly shoddy ramps out of LEGO blocks and cardboard. I'd repeatedly crash them into my older sister's ankles and feign innocence by blaming my childish lack of hand-eye coordination (Remind me to apologize to my sister for being a little bastard.)My only problem: I'd always, always lose the driving controller. Seriously " I somehow always ended up with half of the equation; one brick of an R/C car sitting silently, with no means of being told where and when to go*. That, or the damn controller was out of batteries.The BlueDrone is a Kickstarter project aiming to do away with those endlessly wandering/wavering remotes by replacing them with... your Android phone.
