This Infrared Tracker R/C Car gives the phrase remote control a whole new meaning. Instead of waggling a wheel and throttle arrangement on the controller, you simply point the beam of light onto the floor and the car follows it like an obedient and ever so plasticy pet. Apparently the dot can be up to 5 feet ahead of the car and it will still be able to track it, but do try to remember that walls can be harmful to electronics at high speed. $49.95.
