This is something I have dreamed of since I was 7. A company called 900Global, out of Texas, is manufacturing a remote-controlled bowling ball, the RC-900.
According to the company’s FAQ, the ball can be thrown as a normal bowling ball, but it works best when rolled down a ramp. It appears that the niche this company is trying to fill is that of assisting handicapped bowlers. After having helped with the bowling event of Special Olympics, I can definitely see the need for a device like this.
Also, I stink at bowling and always have, so I definitely would like one of these for myself.
