Overview

The RC Contest is looking for anything and everything wirelessly controlled. It can be a custom built RC car, a remote controlled light switch, or even a device controlled over wifi. If it is a device that you control without wires, you are good to go. Enter any Step-By-Step, Photo, or Video Instructable and you can win a number of cool prizes, like a super-scale RC fighter jet, a gas-powered RC monster truck, or a smartphone controlled Quadrocopter. If you have been waiting for the perfect opportunity to share your RC innovations, this is it! All systems are go!
