Remote Control Mini Coopers

LOL -- I noticed them on the infield while watching track and field coverage last night. I thought I was going crazy!! So cool (I haven't read the article yet).

Thank you!  We saw them last night and couldn't figure out why they were there.

I am catching up on recordings and just saw it on the discus. That.is.cool!

Obviously money well spent by BMW, as evidenced by this thread. cute idea.

Several weeks ago I was watching the European championships and kept noticing these remote control cars fly across the field during the javelin. I was like... How cute, wonder what they are for. After paying closer attention to the cars than the athletes I finally noticed they would fly out to the field, the person threw the javelin and in a few seconds I'd see the car fly back to the line. It finally dawned on me that they were using them to return the javelin to the athlete. Awesome. I want that job.

I haven't been watching much of the field events at the Olympics so haven't noticed them. Very cool. I'll have to watch the coverage tonight and see if I see them.

I wonder if I could train my Mini to fetch? That is just so cool. They are great little cars, I have a convertible and bike hitch, and people comment on it a lot.
