If I had a nickel for every time I felt the urge to convert a hollowed-out watermelon into a remote-controlled boat, I’d have about 15 cents. One tech-savvy watermelon lover acted on that urge and did exactly that. Even better, they plopped their creation in a backyard pool and captured its maiden voyage on video.
This video makes me want to revisit my years as a remote-controlled airplane enthusiast and find a way to make my favorite fruit fly. I’d need a pretty big motor (after all, watermelons are heavy), but I think I could do it.
