Imagine the scenario, there's been a hurricane (or other disaster) which has left a building seriously unstable but you've taken the responsibility to ensure no one is trapped inside. Are you going to risk your own life? Don't be silly! Build the right tool for the job - a remote control 4x4 with a live camera feed to scout out the building for you.
This little piece of kit is purely a prototype at the moment. Its a bit too small and fragile to really scout out buildings, but all of the relevant technology has been tried and tested to good standards. The car its self is custom made four wheel drive with incredibly powerful motors to get out of trouble. it can travel up to an impressive distance of 1km without loosing signal - and if your willing to spend even more, you can go 10km+! The camera is mounted inside the car, using a separate battery to prolong usage times and using a separate transmitter will give a signal twice the distance of the car - right to my TV.
For all the COD fans, it is literally like a RCXD but without the explosives.
I believe that I'm really on to something with this. Its taken a lot of research and about £200 but as a safe method of scouting out buildings for injured person(s), its a small price to pay. Hope you've liked it, take a look at the pictures and let me know what your thoughts are
The final outcome:
Its actually not too difficult to be honest, a bit of chopping this wire, soldering that one etc... I learned most of in in a few evenings.
