We’ve all seen the Parrot AR Drone quadricopter that you can pilot with any of your mobile devices. You probably played with one at a store, or if you’re one of the lucky ones, managed to pick one up for yourself. They’re phenomenal at parties, for making movies or just wasting a day. The only thing they didn’t have going for them is the fact that they’re not easy to transport safely. Enter the MiniDrone that Parrot just unveiled at CES. It’s still a quadricopter. It’s still easy to fly thanks to autopilot and an easy learning curve. But because it’s so tiny it can also fly at higher speeds and perform aerial acrobatics. The little drone that could–it will, quite literally, fit in the palms of your hands–also has detachable wheels if you want to make it climb the wall or run on the ceiling.

The First To-do on Your Fall Checklist is This
You can’t have a fall evening without a fire. And you can’t have a fire without a Cowboy Cauldron. They’re built from solid plate steel, meaning they’ll last a lifetime or two and they come in four different sizes with elevated basins that can be adjusted to any height. We’re going with The Urbaan Cowboy® because it’s perfect for entertaining at home. With a 30″ diameter basin, it is more than large enough to have a nice fire, but still small enough to pack into a pickup truck and take it with you. Can you imagine the envy when we bust this puppy out at a tailgate or the beach? We haven’t seen a more handsome fire. You? Best of all, Cool Material readers get an exclusive deal.
