There is no requirement to construct using your NXT...any LEGO will work.

Yes - but make sure you use a compatible BT adapter...there is a list
somewhere...I think it is on NXTasy or TheNextStep...

Steve and Brian Davis both have remote control units made from another NXT.
These remotes are available for use at Brickworld....I think they wanted to make
the most expensive remote control vehicles possible :)

The list is maintained here:

It's a bit expensive, though; the one I bought at Staples cost me $30.
