I remember multiple websites, that you could control things they had set up with your computer. One, for example, was an RC car. There was a camera set up feeding to the internet so you could see what you were doing, and then you could press "forward" and it would move the car forward, etc. There were other ones too, controlling different things. I can't remember ANY of these sites though. Do any of you guys know some of these websites, that you can give me the link to please? Thanx!

I remember the remote control rifle range, but I think it went under...

Okay, it just so happens that a site like this is on the digg front page right now. All I really wanted to see it for though, is to see maybe some ideas on how to make one. I think it'd be a really fun project to try. Do any of you guys know where I should go to find out how to do something like this? All I really know now, it I'd probably have to interface the RC remote with a parallel port. Thanx!
