If you are looking for a new remote platform Carambola might work for you. The Carambola Core is a small module that is only 35×45 mm (larger if you use the development board), open-source and Linux friendly. It allows for simple wired and wireless networking capabilities to connect to everything around you. This Remote Controlled Car takes full advantage of this to allow this car to be driven around wirelessly using the camera for full navigation.
