Don't have a good name for it yet, but my plan is take an existing R/C truck and using the Arduino Uno, some acoustic sensors, gps and a compass make it navigate an obstacle course. 

So far:

I've take the truck apart and I believe I have located the H-Bridges that control the steering and the power to the rear motor. I'm deciding whether or not to use the existing H-Bridges or order a uC H-Bridge form someplace like T.I..

Goal:

  Short Term:

    Have an autonomous truck that navigates an obstacle course (like a R/C version of the Grand Challenge).

  Long Term:

    Scale this project up to full size car through several scaling iterations or as a stepping stone to ArduCopter or ArduPilot.
