yeah, a usb netcam, i have hooked them up to my linux box before, so maybe an ipaq, of sharp zaruis is in order

TheQuirk:
i've seen devices that would transmit USB signals wirelessly, so I guess that's possible.

TheQuirk:
But I don't belive those devices have enough power to signal that far, though. As voidmain said, that airplane went at 100mph, and I don't even think those devices can hold a candle to even 50 feet.

voidmain:
Actually they do make cameras that you can put on R/C planes and transmit the signal back to the ground. You can even buy the entire plane kit with the camera.  They actually are very reasonable.  I have been thinking about doing that for some time now.  But I don't have to program anything for that.  Just plug in a VCR and record the show.  

And I can't think of any useful purpose for hooking my computer up to control something on a plane or car.  I mean I already have a computerized transmitter that cost me about $1200 that does everything but open my beer for me.

I am rather thinking of robotics type of controlling.  Seems like that should be a fun little project.

well, open beer, that would be a sweet robot,
danger danger voidmain, beer levels down
