This iPhone Controlled Wall Climbing Car iW500 is an RC Car that works by “using the opposite principle of the hovercraft and creates a sealed vacuum between itself and the wall or ceiling.” You just turn the car on, stick it on the wall, and then control it using an iPhone app. The car even allows you to drive on the undersides of tables and ceilings, as long as the surface is smooth.
Sounds like this car won’t work very well on the popcorn ceilings. As impressive as the wall-climbing part of the car is, it also works as a normal race car by turning off the vacuum function. The car can be controlled by iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch after downloading the app from the App Store and plugging the IR transmitter into the dock connector. You can control the car with the iPhone’s gyroscope as well as onscreen controls. The app can connect to three bands, which means you can use three Wall Climbing Cars in the same room and race them against each other. Even cooler, the car’s headlights and taillights both work, so you can play in the dark.
