The new setup is absolutely lush. You look way less restricted from the previous table setup! This is a much better toy than I thought. That camera seems super crisp and I like the AR elements. Just worried about that 3 meter connectivity - 3m isn't a lot, especially if you like to make elaborate tracks that span the entire house! Edit: My favourite action sequence starts at 5:10.

I’m so glad you like the change! I was concerned it might not work, but I definitely feel more free doing it this way. So here’s hoping it translates into better videos 😎

Nice review! I didn't even know this even existed! Looks like great fun, but definitely need the space... and Cobolt was just too funny 😂

[@HansHaupt]

Cobalt is not a fan 😂

As always, timestamps in the description :-)

Thank you for the wonderful comment! 🙏

It's a great product but a bit pricey for plastic car

[@HansHaupt]

Yeah. Despite the cool tech it has, I do also think it is priced higher than it should be 🤷
