I give you MILITARISED BEER CADDIE!

This thing is AWESOME. Felt the joys of being a child again opening a cool present… but seriously with that turret it is not a toy for kids!  It’ll also happily carry two cans of beer around the place for you (only had soft drink to test it with…oops out of beer…).

It was originally purchased to be taken apart… but I don’t think I’ll have the heart take this beautiful thing apart.  Maybe just the turret can be dismantled…its probably too dangerous on anyway ;)

PS : Not in anyway affiliated with the manufacturer or trying to sell any…

PPS : This is a 1 minute post just bragging about this wonderful toy…

PPPS : Somewhere a Roboraptor photo sneaked into the gallery below…oops…

Photos…

The turret is removable, loading hatch open... ROBORAPTOR....accidently made it into this post... Close up with some packaging still attached What's in the box...27Mhz legal in Aus... It even comes with a target! DSC07865A DSC07864A

Transform!  (Or Transmutation in Chinglish…there’s a transmutation button on the controller…makes me feel like an alchemist)

Firing test…

Just some whiizing around the dining room…

Load test with some cans…
