Why not use a second RCX brick? One RCX would be responsible for
driving the system, steering it, and perhaps doing one other function,
and the other RCX brick would be responsible for up to 3 other
functions. The RCX's can talk to eachother via IR.
R/C is pretty neat, of course, but if the brick can't actually interface
to it, using the RC car as the driver mechanism would just give you an
R/C car with a few bells and whistles added onto it, rather than an
actual autonomous robot. Of course, if that's what you're after, then
go for it. I just find the idea disharmonious with the robotics
mindset, personally.
