R/C Truck mage
Stumbled across this neat instructable about converting an old R/C car into basically a robot with an arduino controller and accessories. I like the idea, but the hardware cost is a bit steep. The motor shield, full arduino board, etc etc can add up quick. It might be easier to re-vamp this someday to use less “kit” like material. But it would not be as easy to implement as this.
