Steering Rover from NXT Programs

Here's a neat little project to build from nxtprograms.com.
It's a wired remote control car. The remote has touch and rotational sensors. The interesting part about it is the direct wiring between the motor on the remote and the steering motor on the car. Of course, you can always change it should you decide to build it yourself.

IRSeeker v2

Hitechnic has released a newer version of their IRSeeker, a sensor capable of detecting IR signals. In addition to their infrared ball, the second version will be able to sense Power Functions remotes, TV remotes, and an upcoming IRBall in sunny and bright places. Link to product page.
