Mini Cooper revealed today a new RC car, which is going to be used during this year's London Olympics. The main purpose of this new radio controlled electric car is to fetch javelins, discuses, hammers and shots thrown by the competitors. The Mini Cooper RC car is going to be operated by Games Makers, who have been especially trained for this task. The RC car is about 25% the size of a normal Mini Cooper and it can carry various objects with the help of an opening on the roof. The RC vehicle features the same livery as the official Mini Coopers of the Olympics. Mini built three of these "toys" and each one will cover 6 km per day during four-hour shifts. They will also be used during the Paralympic games.
The Mini Cooper RC Car can carry a load of up to 8kg and has a range of up to 100 m. Its batteries last for about 35 minutes and require 80 minutes to be fully recharged.
