Very interesting indeed!
I have a few questions:
In what way is the IR sensor different (better?) from the regular light sensor?
(apart from the obvious wave length difference)
It appears that one picture appears twice in the 'Products' page
(http://www.hitechnicstuff.com/RFs1.jpg)
What is that a picture of?
I don't think it matches either the description of the compass or the receiver.
Can I have more info about the remote control?
What is the relation between this one and the one Jennifer wrote about?
(http://news.lugnet.com/loc/uk/?n=5945)
Can you control the direction of all four motor? How exactly?
How does the bigger keypad look like? How about 'continuous motion' buttons
like the ones Jennifer talked about?
Are the dual connections designed to handle more current?
Is there any way of controlling the remote using a computer?
What is the power source of the transmitter?
Sorry for all the questions and thanks in advance for any answer,
- David
