Re: The BatBerry: My 89 Batmobile controlled by my BlackBerry
So cool. One day, I hope to have my own 89 batmobile :). Question - for the machine fund, why not use an oxygen/propane mix for actual combustion?

The answer to that one is easy :)
First... gun laws in Canada are EXTREMELY strict, even for replicas. I've already had a few conversations with the local Police departments ensuring that the cast resin replicas that I have will not pose a problem.
Second... I don't want open flames or combustible compressed gasses used with the car. It's the same reason I went with a lighting effect for the afterburner.
Polyester Resin is flammable and the last thing I want is for the car to go up in flames. Especially if someone is inside.
It simply isn't worth the risk :up

Re: The BatBerry: My 89 Batmobile controlled by my BlackBerry
Fair reasons :). Did you put an auxiliary jumper port on the exterior of the car just in case the battery is drained? Figured everything is automated so battery consumption might pose an issue.

Yup it has exterior jumper ports. The Arduino board that is running via Bluetooth draws very little amperage when idle. It can run on a single AA battery for a month or two.
Once the Bluetooth connects with my phone it powers the rest of the control board on and starts to draw 12v. The electronics are only switched on when I activate them from the phone.
I will also have a manual exterior canopy switch just in-case something goes wacky with the Bluetooth connection.
