Controlling a remote control car, truck, plane, helicopter, quadrotor or anything else is always fun. Whether you want to smash them around or pull off some skillful moves it's exciting to see some device move how you want it to. So in honor of those toys, and anything else that can be remote-controlled, we've teamed up with RadioShack for the Remote Control Contest!
The rule is simple: submit any new Instructable that involves something being controlled remotely. It can be a toy like mentioned above or something more exciting like a garage door! Or even something that's actually exciting.
So show us what you can do with a remote-controlled item or even make one yourself from scratch! As long as you're controlling it, we want to see it. We can't wait to see what it is!
