Needs more Rube Goldberg.

so that looks like a stupid control setup, i bet the original controller worked better. this would have been a much better/more useful project if you used a motherboard with an arm processor, wifi, and usb to control the car and it also had a webcam you can view…or even better use a cell phone instead of wifi so it can be run completely remotely =)

would be cooler if he used the accelerometer to steer the iphone like a steering wheel, with push forward to speed up, pull back to stop (like an airplane’s yoke).

Well, where is the app in apple’s app store?

@ninethcircle I totally agree, an arduino with a battery, wifi shield, and a proto shield would eliminate the laptop, and have it be compact to.

Haha i have the same RC car i got it to mess with my cat. Cost like 10 dollars at wallgreens.

[jose] is right, I’m pretty sure this was explicitly outlawed in the SDK agreement- there’s no way you’ll see it in the app store, in fact it might even trigger the ‘kill switch’ if Apple can be bothered…

wow you took that all aroud boston didn’t you =)

cheers to blackspyder.

this is pure dr horrible tribute. just needs a big chrome cylinder on the car roof

i dont think so pkm. were still waiting on the lightsabers, afterall. (not to mention sufficient AI)
