Stephen Mark who has designed the application has taken forward his passion for tech toys a step further with the Blue Drone. To drive the Bluetooth controlled car, you will need the Blue Drone app which can be downloaded through a bluetooth connection and an Android enabled touchscreen device running Android 2.0 or more. You can maneuver the car with standard touchscreen controls of your smartphone or even use the accelerometer for motion-based controlling. It works like a remote-controlled car from the phone over a 30 feet range and the car consumes three hours of battery life and is powered by three AA batteries. With dimensions of 8 x 3.2 x 2.75 inches and weighing around 60 lbs, it’s an easy toy to fit into your weekend-getaway bag or your drawers with limited space.

Currently priced at $59, upon order you will get a 1:20 scale model remote controlled car, and the app to control it from your Android phone or tablet via a Bluetooth connection. However, it is currently awaiting patent rights and although the prototype is ready for demonstration, the large scale production for the real project is dependent on public funding. To promote further levels of participation amongst BlueDrone enthusiasts, Mark also offers the blue drone "backer band" and Drone t-shirt priced at $10 and $25 respectively. He also guarantees the Blue drone R/C Car with a high-level of quality, maximum customer satisfaction and an overall great experience as a gift or for personal entertainment.
