1) Car Automation - many universities and other entities are working on

2) Rockets - I've seen rocket articles where hobbyists outfit their

Is this an extension of the project where you remotely drove cars into
telephone poles and such (or am I confusing you with another piclister?)

There were a series of messages about one piclister in particular who
was trying to get his rocket to track a balloon.
