or said a different way... yup, you can have 3 controllers active, flying 3 separate Bat-dudes on 3 different frequencies ... (or 3 separate Groups of Bat-dudes in bunches of wildly out-of-control groups of 311 in each group ... if you were OCD enough to get every one of them 'trimmed' exactly the same for exactly the same flight characteristics --- you could have huge and dazzling air-shows of synchronized Bat-Dudeing ... but still only in 3 groups each on one of 3 frequencies and never the twain shall meet )

The main flaw in your thinking is that evil restriction da man places on you of three per caller. We could, however, have a convention of Wooters to make your dream a reality. The first 100 people to sign up and pay their $50 registration fee to me can go meet at the place of their choosing. I won't be there.

You're a sick human being.

Bought 3 of them.

1 for my kid.

And stocked up on two extras, just to have presents ready for the next couple birthday parties my kid gets invited to.

Looks like woot! and Bandai are now dating... this is the second Bandai product in the past 7 days.

Perfect birthday present for triplet 10 yo boys. Mom will love this. She does not know that I have already purchased the Foam Strike crossbow and compound bow. (3 of each)
Let's get the party started.

My bet is on Batman getting shot out of the wild blue sky with a cross bow dart in 10 min.

I have - One cat hates it while the other is fascinated by it!

Tomorrow's Woot will be a dog house, I'm sure you will be in for 3.

Depends... did you read any of the specs on the Woot page?

And I quote:
"3 frequency options allow independent control of additional helicopters (orders of multiple units will receive helicopters with different frequencies)"

Assuming that is true, you can fly 3 at the same time and you don't have to specify anything special to get 3 different frequencies if you order 3 at a time.

How can there be so many people hating on a twelve dollar helicopter. Dare I remind you that most of us spend that much on things we definitely need LESS than a toy helicopter, like overpriced coffee and fast food.

Unbelievable advice. Anything else we need to know?

Exactly - what's the chance he/she loses BOTH eyes! What doesn't kill ya makes ya stronger...

Edna: It will be bold! Dramatic!

Bob: Yeah. Something classic, like, like Dynaguy. Oh, he had a great look! Oh, the cape and the boots...
Edna: [throws a wadded ball of paper at Bob's head] No capes!
Bob: Isn't that my decision?
Edna: Do you remember Thunderhead? Tall, storm powers? Nice man, good with kids.
Bob: Listen, E...
Edna: November 15th of '58! All was well, another day saved, when... his cape snagged on a missile fin!
Bob: Thunderhead was not the brightest bulb...

Here is a different Batman toy that you can use with the helicopter one. How you do that is up to you...

Got one for each of my Nephews. That should make my brother and sister-in-law very happy!!!!

I swear I didn't click on the kids woot, yet each time I refresh there appears a children's toy for sale... [/derision]

While flying the Caped Crusader in the Batroom, I recommend keeping the toilet lid down....

If placed upside-down in a beverage of choice, does it both stir and froth said beverage?

I have with a cheap helicopter before. Hilarity ensues until the dog catches it and chomps it in half.

You can't fool me...
This is Buzz Lightyear in BatMan drag!!!!

So, how much payload can these things carry? Yes, I know they're not designed to carry payload - so how much payload can these things carry?

I feel bad for my cats, muahahaha...

bought this from amazon a while ago. it broke within 10 minutes of opening the package. very flimsy. not worth it.

Now where did I park that damn thing ??

It was just here a moment ago!

So does the engine light on fire like the Batmobile from the TV show? And where would Robin sit?

New to this. Can't see where to check to order.

With enough practice, you'll be able to follow her around the house with it and hover it right behind her any time she stops to do anything.

For some reason, my Airhogs helicopters disappear after a couple days.

Had a blast & a boat load of chuckles reading all the stories of stirring the curiosity of animals with these flying skybot devices. Sounds like adults & parents are getting lots more entertainment out of this than the youngsters. Things like this help us not lose or forget the kid in all of us. Thanks good Wooter Colleagues & thanx for another fine deal Woot!

I have a dog and a small remote helicopter about the same size as this bat droid. The dog goes nuts, barks at it in the defensive mode, and when the helicopter came towards it, the dog ran away barking. Hilarious, awesome, worth it.

I just wanted to say that this seems like a pretty appropriate woot for 4/20.

I bet he take out the helicopter from the belt.

In for three... you know... for the bat-tles.

Now, if it was a flying Tumbler, well....

no more so than say.... 'jarts'.

The camera idea could be fun...Send it into Barns+Noble and put my exwifes eye out and have 3D vid of it. ROFL
