The ROVER UNIT Story

My friend Tom and I are inventors. Whenever we get together we come up with crazy inventions to help enhance are daily mundane routines. While camping, Tom and I got tired of getting up out of are lawn chairs to get our favorite adult beverages. So we came up with the idea to make this remote controlled beverage cooler to do the work for us.

We named this new invention the ROVER UNIT which stands for:
R.O.V.E.R. (Remote Overland Vehicle for Entertainment and Refreshments)
U.N.I.T. (Unbelievably Neat Intoxicating Toy). The ROVER UNIT is the world's only remote controlled beer cooler on wheels that will go a blistering 15-MPH in top gear.

The ROVER UNIT's features

· Remote control or
· Drive and ride by joystick
· 4 speed shift on the fly transmission
· Two way radio (Remote control the ROVER UNIT up to a crowd and can listen and speak through its speakers remotely.)
· Dash board with speedometer, battery gauge and turbo boost indicator.
· Turbo battery boost.
· Two assault, forward spraying squirt guns (water is chilled in cooler for maximum screams)
· Four channel stereo with cassette and power antenna.
· Motorized retractable seat cushion.
· Head and tail lights.
· 24V supply output for the Margo-Matic (Margarita blender attachment) and the Super Camper 2000 (Hair Drier on Steroids for blowing up air mattresses and boosting camp fires).
· The ROVER UNIT talks to you when it's first turned on.

With all the features the ROVER UNIT offers, it always surprises it's audiences with turned heads, smiles and laughter. Since we built it, we have taken it camping, parties, two Fourth of July parades, the EAA "Fly In" in Oshkosh, WI and it was even considered by the David Letterman Show.
