If you've ever wanted to drive around in an RC car via FPV with no hassles, this is your chance. FPV cars are not widely available and therefore you've had to make your own by soldering on a camera system and cobbling it together. Now Kobotix is about to release some cool looking cars with integrated FPV systems that connect to your phone so you can drive from the cars perspective and even record and share the video with friends.
They say it offers a low latency 720p stream to your phone so we're assuming it's a wifi connection. The range is listed as 98.4 feet and the cars can run up to 12.4MPH. They really like to add that .4 to their specs! It does come with a 2.4Ghz proportional RC transmitter and a set of FPV goggles to put your phone into. The cars are 4-wheel drive which is cool with independent suspension and swappable LiPo batteries. They are pretty small and we're not sure what scale they are, but don't expect to be doing any off roading with these. It looks like it will be smooth flat surfaces only. There's no word on pricing or availability just yet.
