Hillarious signaling device

Woot is selling giant remotes (you know, two hands, a few pounds) 2 for $8 plus $5 shipping today.

Wouldn't that be so funny for the robocoach to pull something that big and bulky out at the beginning of the match...I can just see the weird looks I'd get from other teams...

Here's a $39.99 version of the same thing, except it's nicer...just in case someone sees this tomorrow and has no idea what I'm talking about.

Re: Hillarious signaling device

We actually have a remote just like that. We found it at Ocean State Job Lot (a local clearance/closeout type outlet here in RI) for about $5.

Re: Hillarious signaling device

Re: Hillarious signaling device

I think the idea behind the jumbo remote is that it's so big you can't lose it.

Re: Hillarious signaling device

We got ours at Walgreens. A drug store. It was easy to program with the IR chip. And Squirrel is right, it is easy to find, but it was also easy to operate.

Re: Hillarious signaling device

We have one too. Got it at Staples for $6.
And here I was thinking how funny we would be with the only huge remote...
