The Here's What's Awesome mailbox is full of interesting pieces on wheelchair technology these days, starting with the Action Trackchair. It's an off-road wheelchair with treads - treads! - capable of negotiating sand, snow, and hiking trails. And, as the company's promo video points out, you can have it painted in camouflage colors for serious action. [Wired]
Now that chair costs somewhere in the neighborhood of nine grand. For those lacking major funds for mobility, a couple of designers in Spain have put together a low-cost wheelchair design using basic chair wheels and a plastic garden chair - simple, yes, but effective. Slap a little camouflage paint on there and you're good to go, right? [Inhabitat]
