Wall Racers was made by 2 cheap (and crap driving) RC cars. I gave them sensors (SRF05), tuned with an extra battery, and gave them own logic / "robot-brains" (Picaxe 28).
Primary target is to stay close to the wall, drive fast, and overtake the other 
I would love to make this as a toy, we could add all sorts of cool features, so if anybody out there..?

Man that was so cool, 5 stars. If i wasn't already trying out several other online builds i would give this a go, but it makes you think, why hasn't anyone tried to sell RC cars with this built in? Not many people have the time or patience to build something like this but they sure have the green to pay for it.
My suggestion, patent this combination of RC car and sensors and work out a sales plan. Maybe I've been watching too much Dragon's Den but I think you could make a pretty nifty profit!
