Ever been put out by putting out the rubbish? Do you wish you could somehow take your bin to the kerb without having to get wet, struck by lightning and attacked by stray cats?
If you answer yes to any of these questions, Gnome-brand products may have the solution to your woes:
The all-new Gnome-brand
Moto-Bin allows you to take your wheely bin to the kerb without leaving the comfort of your living room!
Using revolutionary remote control technology in conjunction with state-of-the-art digital video, the Moto-Bin makes your wheely-bin-wheeling days a thing of the past.
Simply attach the Moto-Bin unit to your wheely bin and use the remote control (supplied as standard) to take your bin up the drive from up to 600m away.
What's more, the Moto-Bin Bincam, which can be easily attached to the side of your bin, gives you crystal-clear vision of your bin's path through a standard receiver that can be plugged into any TV's RF socket. It can even be used in the dark, as the Bincam comes with a night-vision lens as standard.
Also, super-accurate laser-assisted steering controls the Moto-Bin's direction. The steering system also incorporates an advanced obstacle avoidance system based on U.S. Military technology.
Steering on the Moto-Bin is controlled via the same remote control as the speed, and uses a simple user interface similar to that of a radio-controlled car.
The wheel's direction is controlled by a small electronic servo motor.
The Moto-Bin will fit to any standard European wheely-bin and is available from all good retailers.
