I’ve been spending a lot of downtime thinking about how I can stay in better contact now that I’m working remotely. I have a whole basement to work out of so I’ve decided to start looking into making my own wifi enabled, remote control vehicle. My goal is to have a working prototype by mid December, and I want to use my blog to document how it’s going. What I would like to accomplish is a car that you can view through and control remotely via a web-site. Some of my “stretch goals” would be to have a rechargeable docking station, the ability to move the webcam independently of the car, and a small two-way display screen that can be activated.
