The project starts with a commercial remote controlled car that has to be modified so that it can be interfaced with the Phidget controller. The easiest way to accomplish this is to modify the hand-held controlling unit to receive input from the Phidget controller instead of a human driver.
The end result is a .NET-controlled RC car with wireless camera for stealthy operations.

The function of the device is very simple. Any IR remote than can be programmed to use the Sony protocol will work. The module outputs the device code (TV/VCR/DVD/AUX) and the button pressed, so the device can be used on as many different projects as your remote has devices (usually four). It is simple and cheap to make, and works really well.

With a DIY audio streamer, you can send your favorite tunes wirelessly from your computer to other rooms. Anyone can build this remote-control wireless streamer for less than a hundred bucks using just about any old Windows computer. You can buy or make a custom enclosure that matches the room’s decor and add a small LCD screen to show you what song is playing. Then throw in a wireless remote control, and start streaming your favorite tunes anytime and anywhere you want.

The goal of this project was to build a normal dimming lamp that is also controlled wireless with a tv remote control. When you switch the power on there will follow a soft-start till the lamp burns at the previously adjusted dim level. With the P+ and P- button from a system at choice you can adjust the maximum and minimum dim-levels and with the ‘1′ button the start-up brightness. The next time when the 230V power is switched on the lamp starts up at the adjusted dim-level.

This instructable shows you how to build a remote detonator that could be used for something like fireworks or rockets. The schematic is pretty basic and the parts are widely available so it should be easy to get them. The author states that the circuit has a range of about 90 m so that should cover a nice safe distance.
