Yes that is the app, thanks. I have a version of that original app working 
with this rover now - at least in the sense that it can steer the rover 
around remotely and in all directions with the single joystick control. I 
attached the "IOIO" cellphone (the one that interfaces directly with the 
IOIO on the rover) to the forklift with some rubber bands and drove it 
around with the "controller" cellphone. It beams out video from the rover! 
But a very unstable mounting system, the phone keeps flopping over. :)

I pulled down your version and will definitely have a look. I have a little 
pan-and-tilt mechanism that I put together with this ki

Maybe I can use your additional joystick to control that, and just add some 
up/down buttons for the forklift later. If I get that going I will talk to 
you about incorporating it into your version as an option. Or if that 
doesn't make sense I could just fork it I guess.

My thinking is that I can mount a cellphone onto the pan/tilt device and 
attach it to the bed of the rover. Should be able to mount some additional 
sensors later as well, and have something pretty interesting to experiment 
with. I'm concerned about the size of the cellphone though. Ideally it 
would be a really small phone, not one of these 4.7" behemoths. I've been 
looking around on ebay for tiny Android phones that run Jellybean or higher 
and not seeing anything.
