![]() Seeing as it's my birthday today (Go 14!) I got a remote control helicoper (damn good present, too) I remembered seeing something about a remote control tank. So I looked it up and found it.
This guy in Sweden has put together a remote control M5 Start Model with a webcam on it. There is a laser targetter, Laser Target Shooter and a paintball gun (But of course he wouldn't trust me with that So using ActiveX and IE, he allows you to see what the tank sees, move it, aim the gun and fire. He's happy to just let you have a go on it. He says it cost about ?1500 to build, and I do believe him. He also says he has plans for an army of these, and multiplayer laser/painball games. Sounds fun! Anyway, Driving a remote control vehicle is fun, A model tank in Sweden in someones house is just great! Contact him using his msn: spidg@hotmail.com As for lag, there isn't too much, maybe a second or so. Decent webcam, too. Not one of those near black-and-white ones which updates every 30 seconds So, overall, a very fun experience. Must build myself a life-size version with SABOTs one day.. Have Fun!
