From the site:
“Can’t afford really cool toys and gadgets?

We strive to create unique and new things that the user can control at home from a standard desktop PC… control trains, drive RC cars, fire off fireworks, turn on and off lights, and control many more toys right from your computer!

We are 3 brothers who live in Michigan, USA. We build these wonderful things in our basement, which is a giant place that nothing is occupying currently.”

Great idea, but the web site has a few errors.

Update 2022: the site seems to have died sometime in 2008, it was part of a wider network web truck.org which in turn died in September 2013 it also points to a Twitter Page where there is some activity.
