R/C car in real world

“Commotion is a new form of play over a scalectrix style racing toy. The player controls the cars throttle with their voice, through a microphone built into a helmet. The louder you are, the faster the car will go. If you come off the track however, the helmet will shake. An interesting take on the process of play of an existing toy. Video here. Its no wonder that Japanese TV loved it.” - by Chris O’shea

“RC/Fight is an interactive game between two RC car gamers on a huge race track. Each Radio Control Car is equiped with a mini WiFi camera. Each player is on a seat and controls his own car through the camera/car view of the TV screen”.

Circuit board for the LED's

This is a circuit board that I bought in JayCar for Mike so he solder the LED's on in easier way by fallowing the grid at the back.

HELM 1.0 - DOCUMENTATION OF THE FABRICATION

This is my video documentation of the fabrication.

The helmet´s stage today

I finished everything that I can do until I get the LED electronics from Mike and the multi helm chip from Pip. When I get both of those parts it will be drilled and glued on and the helmet will finally be a finished product!

Sandblasting the visor

Fabricating the grid sheet for the LED's

Painting the helmet

Drying the helmet

Now the helmet should be prepared for a primer and a paint!

Sanding the Helmet

The helmet had to be sanded, so I could get the labels off and get a smooth surface. I used a wet sandpaper and a scotch-brite to sand the helmet.
