Think Geek sent us 7 boxes full of Cyber Surfers that needed to be “disposed of”.  We said no problem.  What are we doing with 20+ cyber surfers?  Having a helicopter war of course!  The rules are as follows:

• The destruction will take place on Feb. 28th an hour before sunset. Don’t be late.
• The location is still TBA
• You must mod your chopper to be on a different frequency than the others, fly it on xbee or swap the crystal
• If you are getting this post emailed to you – you know who you are and what your role is
• Any way of destruction is acceptable as long as it doesn’t harm humans from 10 yards away
• Be creative, the person who takes down the most other choppers wins
• This is what the inside of your controller looks like, but you should already know that:
