Build Your Own iPhone-Controlled Toy Cars

In a mix of old-school design and new technology, you can relive your childhood days of do-it-yourself block-building while controlling creations with your iPhone.

iHelicopters.net offers a selection of mini-brick cars to construct and control on any iOS device. Test out your creativity to build your tiny dream car and charge it up via USB. Check out the video, above, for more.

With a free app called UTICO and a transmitter connected to the audio jack of your iPhone, you can drive your toy vehicle of choice at full speed.

The site also boasts a variety of helicopters, spy tanks, wall climbers, remote controlled insects and UFOs to maneuver the same way. If you want to get a ground-level view, the spy tanks also feature a real-time video feed on your screen.

Would you use these iPhone-controlled toys? Are there any other toys or devices you'd like to see integrated with iOS? Let us know in the comments.
