That is something that we have been thinking about. We are trying to come
up with a "poetic" solution where multiple users would have a group
control. You know, if the majority wants to go left then it will go left
kind of thing.
Or we could make a sign-up sheet giving each user sole control for a
period of time. Being that this is a grad school project we are leaving
for the summer. A few of us are going to work on a web remote control page
under a  highly controlled environment. That way we'll have
something to work with in the fall.

I'd love to hear how you are dealing with the interface on the Internet. If your
allowing users to control it. I've been having a hard time getting something to
work where multiple users would not make it just 'buzz' on the spot from getting
all sorts of commands...
