Remote-controlled bowling ball



The RC 900 Global is a bowling ball designed as a crossover between conventional bowling and video gaming. It is remotely controlled with a handset. The child launches the ball using a standard aluminum ramp, then uses the controller to guide it.

This isn't a product for adult or teen bowlers. The time between when the ball leaves my hand to when it (misses the pocket) is about two seconds - not enough to switch over to using the remote control. With a sticker price of $1500, this ball is obviously marketed to upscale bowling centers where it would be rented out for families with children for birthday parties and other such events.

Via Neatorama, where there is a discussion thread.
