of his Lego 4x4 Intimidator -- "This is a robotic 4x4 car that I built a few months ago. It performs pretty well and has some interesting features. It is not too complicated though. It uses three NXT motors, two Power Functions XL motors, one PF Medium motor, two battery boxes, one NXT [intelligent brick], one ultrasonic sensor, one light sensor, IRlink sensor from HiTechnic, one pair of lights, one switch, and two IR receivers."

The car can drive itself around obstacles. Has one every seen a Truck Trial in which the car must navigate itself?

Is cell-phone control of Lego Trial Trucks allowed in competitions? One would now have to point their Power Functions RC Controller so close to the vehicle to overcome the sun's IR rays....

It's allowed and, in fact, popular in Polish Truck Trial. Atr's truck uses it, and I think TT's one has been using it for a while before he turned to controlling one NXT brick with another NXT brick.
