- anthonyb415, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I think the battery is dead...but a really cool concept! Digg.
- Riggs54, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it loads...
it sucks becuase the battery is dead! who didnt plug it in.... - doddilus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0so wha thappens when 100 people are trying to control it at once? who gets priority?
- inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dead...... what a stupid idea to put it on digg... the remote control car will run out of battery in no time :)
- speaker219, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0poor site has been brought down from digg, doesnt load..
- mikebeauchamp, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I also did an Internet Remote Controlled car about 3-4 years ago, but it was such a huge hassle to keep running that I eventually took it down. The page is still up though and there's a quick "How it Works" section as well:
http://beauchamp.relyon.ca/car/ - x2dx, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Prob need a que with like 5 min before it kicks u and goes on to the next person.
- Tobey, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This thing has never worked even before it was on on digg. I don't know why people dugg this, do they just read the title and that's it?
- andrebsd, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I'm with Tobey... It never worked before, so I dunno... I don't think it'll work now either.
- stolenpass, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0How are people Digging a dead link?
- davdav, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I guess it's diggable, but only to come back to it in a month or so
But I am not digging it anyway - ownedbytheman, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Unless something changed since it hit the queue last night (when it didn't work), the people who dugg it simply did so without looking at the content of the link. Quite a kudo to the "user/editor" system... Nice work everyone.
I got a 404 page I can describe beautifully, think we can get the zombies to digg it to the front page? - SystemError, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0dead battery
- usergentoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0there use to be a model train that was setup that you could control from your browser back in '96
it belong to some model railroad group - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0with 1000s of people trying to control it at once it fried the car! (or it just never worked in the first place).
No digg - webtruck, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0once your done driving left and right, forward and backward, go to
http://www.webtruck.org/webtruck/ You'll find a tethered truck (batteries won't be empty)
to load stuff and unload in a box plus a remote controllable camera to get all the details - dko1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Hi - we'll see about getting the battery recharged on Wednesday mornings. Check back after 11am Pacific Time and I'll bet it will be working.
- dko1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Duh, we'll try to get it fixed on TUESDAY.
- dupy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Very cool...
Yes, its overloaded right now and responding, or the battery is dead. What's so cool then? The fact that there are people out there that will do something like this just for the sake of doing it, and then share it with the world. I personally just don't have the time for all the little endeavours that I'd like to put my mind to, but I celebrate those that take the time out of their lives and share the results with the rest of us.
The only thing I have for re-payment is this comment. That being said, its more than I usually give to such cool things. - ScottDaMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Yeah, they need a "bookmark but no digg" option
- dpknc84, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Mind your server because you post your link here it's gonna die.
- teamparadox, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Some of us digg things to bookmark them for later reading...I am one of those people. If the site doesnt work a few hours later or I feel it sucks then i'll simply undigg it. 7 or so reports can get an article removed so whats the big deal?
- krux, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0webtrucks has been doing this for awhile... at least was a few years ago. not exactly new.. still cool.
- Mushroonaut, on 07/11/2008, -0/+0Page takes ages to load. Could've been fun, but....no digg.
- dameit, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0 Same shight for 7 years! The bloody bugga is in blink! Boring and pointless.
- CanuckPlumber, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It would be better with a small cam mounted on the car and a larger room.
No digg - hope, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0This is a little old. Seven years to be exact...
- MDGarci3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Interesting concept, I wonder what other stuff this could be applied to...
- Soccrmastr, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0thats much better from www.controlourjunk.com
- dko1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0We've re-tuned apache so that you can see what this is all about. Unfortunately, the battery is dead. The car is in our office which is a long way from home. There sure are a lot of you hitting up the server :-> VCAR was first created seven years ago. Until January 2004, VCAR was housed at MP3.com. Now it's at Trusonic, Inc. which was a business unit of MP3.com that got sold in December 2003.
- Eric4, on 10/12/2007, -1/+1We have a car similar to this. Just visit www.controlourjunk.com and click R/C Car. You get to knock over pop cans and the battery is high capacity and can last for days.
