For the fun of it we made an Android app allowing a sender phone and a receiver phone to act as a remote control. The reciever phone is connected to a Polulo Maestro servo card with Usb Host.

It work pretty fine actually.

We use some nice piece of communication software (from another project) enabeling mobilphones to communicate peer to peer bypasing NAT restrictions using no server in between. This software also allow for logical peer identites without any spesific account or setting, just figure a peer name and connect. (so it make it very easy to connect with a standard phone connected to internett with 3g/4g)

Why not use mobilphones for controller directly, it have everything, gps, gyro, accelerometer (+ easy programmable i java) ?
