Hmm.. if this works then it could be time to invest in the (until now)
useless LEGO RC car after all!

Each time I see the R/C car (most recently on clearance at Target) I get
excited, expecting it to be a simple trasmitter plus an RCX-sized box with two
motor outputs that is then built into a model.  This would be a great set, and
would make it possible to turn almost every technic vechicle into an R/C car
(albeit a slow one).  It would also be great for testing robots under human
control while developing RCX software.

Unfortunately it's an R/C car just like any other, but with LEGO studs on top
so you can decorate it...  Funny, I never felt like decorating any other R/C
cars...

Yeah, that's why it is kinda useless unless you could control it fully with one
RCX output.. at which point the additional studs start having uses!
