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).

@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.

That’s very impressive, but GOD that video was painful. So pretentious!

[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…

In 1966 Star trek had communicators, and 30 years later we had flip mobile phones. in 1997 tomorrow never dies had a device similar to this, which is a reality 11 years later. are the gadgets we see in todays sci-fi films going to be must-have christmas presents in 2010? maybe by then we’ll all have repraps, so the DVD extras will include the files to 3d print your own version of the hero’s gadgetry?

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

Wow that video was pretty mundane. I love technology but wouldn’t have been simpler to just buy a rc car instead of lugging around a laptop. I guess when new inventions are evolving, you must sacrifice.
