hacking radio shack zip zaps cars?
Does anyone know if it's easy to open up one of those little cars and
get at the relays that control the car, to control other things than the car? (ie hack into a lego mindstorms set, turn on a TV, etc.) |

Why not go to any electronics supply distributor and get some relays for
the application you want? This way you will have a better chance at doing things right. In your little car, I believe they are using solid state relays, and these are much more complex to work with. -- Greetings, Jerry Greenberg GLG Technologies GLG ============================================== WebPage http://www.zoom-one.com Electronics http://www.zoom-one.com/electron.htm Instruments http://www.zoom-one.com/glgtech.htm ============================================== "Mad Scientist" wrote in message om...

(ie hack into a lego mindstorms set, turn on a TV, etc.) They're easy to get into (when your sons have them you're always taking them apart). I don't believe they use relays though.
