DIY Captain America Shield Can Bounce Back: Fibers, Assembled

DIY Captain America Shield Can Bounce Back: Fibers, Assembled
There are a thousand replicas and scale models of Captain America’s iconic shield, from action figure accessories and cheap children’s toys to full-on display pieces. But none of them actually work like Cap’s weapon – you can throw them, but that’s like playing catch with a cat.

The Frisbee Has Been “Reinvented”, and We’re Not Sure That’s a Good Thing

The Frisbee Has Been “Reinvented”, and We’re Not Sure That’s a Good Thing
61 years ago, the Frisbee was born. That was when Wham-O Inc. acquired the rights to the flying disc and officially named it. Now, the company says it’s reinvented the Frisbee. This new version looks wobbly and warped.

Is a game of frisbee not high-tech enough for you? Well, Brookstone, is selling this VFO (Video Flying Object) with a 720P video camera for you to destroy. Okay, they say it’s “super rugged” but clearly you haven’t seen me throw a frisbee.

DIY Frisbee Launcher: We’re Gonna Need a Bigger Lawn

The crude but effective launcher uses the drill to turn a bicycle wheel, which in turn flings the frisbees with the help of a wooden feeder.

Robots Compete by Throwing Frisbees and Climbing Pyramids

Robots Compete by Throwing Frisbees and Climbing Pyramids
I’m sure that this is just a small taste of what we can expect from future robot competitions, just with less killing of humans. This competition is designed to attract more young students to the field of robotics and for today at least, it looks pretty fun.

Floating Frisbee Could Fly 100 Feet or More

Floating Frisbee Could Fly 100 Feet or More
I’ve never been all that good at throwing a frisbee. On occasion, I’ll get off a good shot, but it usually goes like 15 or 20 feet then peters out or takes a violent turn off course.
