Bandai's "Hyper Infinity" yo-yo, released April 2, 2011. This unique yo-yo was available only in Japan and was a first in the history of yo-yos: it was motorized. That is, it used a small, built-in power rotation system to maintain the yo-yo's spin indefinitely... at least until its two AAA batteries ran out of power after approximately 90 minutes of continuous use.
The motor became engaged the moment you threw a sleeper. It transmitted the rotational power of the motor to the yo-yo's geared bearing. To get the yo-yo to return, it employed two response methods: a special string that had a "response tube" attached to it (see the "Box size A" picture in this exhibit) and special rubber friction pads. The yo-yo could not return to a player's hand using traditional yo-yo string, although using a bind may let you do so.
Came with one Hyper Infinity yo-yo, two response strings, and a user's guide.
With so many moving pieces to the yo-yo, it was no wonder that certain parts wore out much quicker. This symptom created a market for various specialized spare parts for the Hyper Infinity such as the response string, rubber friction pads, and gear bearing.
Original retail price: $60 US | |
