Just before CES 2014 I showed you guys a really cool gadget, well more so a toy, that just looked like a lot of fun. It was a simple Bluetooth gadget that was housed under plastic. It was long and slender and had a prop and rudder on the back. Yes, the PowerUp 3.0 Bluetooth controlled Paper Airplane. How could you not want a smartphone controlled gadget that lets you take flight with your favorite paper airplane design?
Well, not surprising at all, but the PowerUp 3.0 is fully funded in a big way. They shot for a measly $50,000 to get the project going and are currently sitting at $1,195,785. Yes, that is over a million dollars. The PowerUp 3.0 is scheduled for release in March of this year and I can’t wait to get my hands on one. There is still 15 hours left, at the time of this post, to get in on the funding if you wish. The Early Bird special is gone, but the standard $30 package is open ended. Kick it up to $40 and you get quite a bit more. Head over to the
PowerUp 3.0 Kickstarter page to check it out.
