The Remote Control Expansion Pack provides direct command over every movement of the robot, using an infrared remote control. The illustrated guide for this project provides instructions for attaching an infrared receiver to the robot, decoding signals from the remote control, and programming the robot to respond to these signals. Along the way, the fundamentals of serial data transmission are covered, as well as lessons on the binary number system.
