Car No.02 Steering Wheel Drive R/C Car with Arduino, Webcam and net.USB etc.

IP Control Car was launched in 2001.
I make the similar function car utilizing commercialized products.

The concept of Car No.02 is to utilize commercialized products, and I am an amateur in electrical. So, do not blame me that the system is not sophisticated, i.e. servo & speed controller control system and webcam system are not integrated, or 4 different types of batteries are used for R/C Car(7.2V), Arduino(5V), USB Device Server(12V) and Wireless Broadband Router(5V).

Love the project! I built a rolling platform for a laptop PC, to get the same drive-by-joystick experience, but it's all the same in the end :)
