Zoomer Chimp – Day 2 – 100 Advanced Tricks and Phrases
We return for another look at Zoomer Chimp. Since yesterday he’s been played with a load and has learned all sorts of new tricks, sounds and moves.
As we’ve played with him the set of things that Zoomer Chimp can do has steadily expanded so that now we are approaching seeing many more of his 100 different moves and hundreds of sounds.
Zoomer Chimp has a range of features but our favourites are that he follows our movements and performs loads of tricks. His eyes change color to tell you his mood along with his different expressions.

Star Wars X-Wing vs Death Star Drone Battle (Air Hogs)
We test out the Star Wars X-wing vs. Death Star, Rebel Assault from Air Hog. You pilot the RC X-wing Drone and battle against an auto-hovering Death Star.
It took some practice to get proficient at flying the X-Wing and targeting the Death Star at the same time but a few hours in and it all clicked nicely.
Hit the Death Star 3 times to defeat it before it can shoot you down with its own IR weapon system. An integrated heads up display and battle responsive lights and sounds keep track of all the action.
The Rebel Assault includes a gyro-stabilised X-wing drone with 200 foot range, plus a Death Star that automatically hovers and shoots. Recreate one of the most epic Star Wars battle scenes at home with the Air Hogs Star Wars X-wing vs. Death Star, Rebel Assault.

Day 2 – Air Hogs Connect: Mission Drone
We test out Spin Master’s Air Hogs Connect the real drone flown indoors, controlled with a smart device that becomes a part of an augmented reality video-game experience.
Day 1 experience here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Qygq1zw6KWo
With gamified drones and augmented reality games being huge this year it’s a great high tech combination. The boys get hands on to try it out and work through the early stages of the game.
We learn how to fly, use the grapple, extinguish fires and even attack aliens. The action happens on the tablet screen and in the room with a real life drone and mat.
