Introducing Remote Driver

It is probably because of this project that I am freaking out with deadlines now. A friend at the office showed up a couple of days ago with one of those rc cars you can drive with your keitai. Minutes later we where using flash to move it, and as time went by, the source code jumped from person to person, everyone adding a little bit to it.
