RC car with pc control and video streaming

Projects General Guidance

Hi guys!

I want to build up an RC car controlled by PC or Android smartphone.
I've an Arduino Uno, a breadboard, cables and different electronic components.

First I was thinking to build a simple car that goes ahead and back, with four cc motor.

If it works I'll add more components like steering, video streaming and headlight.

Can you tell me what electronics and mechanicals components use?

Thanks, and sorry for my poor English, I'm still learning (:

Ok I'm trying to delete the post in the Italian forum but I can not.

Consider gutting an existing RC vehicle - building the frame would be a pain in the ass, even if you did tank-style steering. Starting from an existing RC car, and just replacing the electronics, would get all the mechanical crap dealt with.

For streaming video, use a wifi camera (foscam or their competitors), and have it completely independent of the arduino - the arduino is not fast enough to do any video processing.

Good idea thanks
I was thinking to build all the electronics components on a rudimentary wood plate, just to try to move the car ahead and back, is This possible?

A simple project on a piece of wood.
