Well, it might be a little bit hard for us to believe that in the last early century, it’s truly impossible to hear the word, “Wifi”.

However, it immediately turns into an amazing technology, especially in this 21^st century. In present days, Wifi have already become a common symbolic, either in the industries or household.

Today, we’re going to build a Wifi Toy Truck Robot. Basically, it’s a remote control car, but it’s a little bit different from the ordinary types. What’s special about the Wifi Robot is you can simply control it through the internet or with a laptop wirelessly from up to 500m away!

For your information, it has a live-feed network camera. In this case, it can be driven without line of sight and a horn.

First thing first, you have to use the Linksys WRT54GL router, as it’s a very hacker-friendly. Plus, it runs Linux and some of the hardware has been reserve engineered. Believe it or not, there’s a bunch of alternative firmware versions have been written for the Linksys WRT54GL router. Hence, along with the great software for the router, it makes the hardware hacks becoming possible! [jbprojects.net]
