R/C Car thinks that it’s Spiderman, climbs walls and ceiling

Zero G

Wow, talk about a merchandising deal waiting to happen, this R/C car can climb walls and cruise along the ceiling like Spiderman! Using a technology known as the Air Venturi Suction System, the Zero Gravity Wall Climber R/C car uses vacuum pumps to stick the Climber to the wall or ceiling and can propel itself along as it does. Wow, that kinda sucks.

With an intelligent on-board observation system that continually monitors the angle of the car, the Zero G will automatically begin climbing the wall once it comes up against it. Then, when it senses the car has reached past 45 degrees, the Air Venturi Suction System gets turned on and begins to suck the car’s underside flat against the wall as it travels vertically. Then the car can be “driven” in any direction along the wall or ceiling all while the AVSS keeps the Zero G flat against the surface. And then, once the monitor senses the floor coming and the car is again angled less than 45 degrees, the AVSS automatically switches off.
