I have actually created a similar device, and am in the testing
phase now. It connects to your RC receiver, and then outputs the
IR commands to the RCX to drive the motors. It effectively works
just like the IR remote for driving the 3 outputs, but you can use it
without line of sight. I currently have it working with a Futaba
8UAPS.
I hope to post information soon to this list on how to get one. You
can eMail me if you have questions or comments.
