Does anybody know what parts i will need to be able to make my Boe-Bot Radio controlled like RC cars/planes. Here is what i am guessing i need:

1. a reciever
2. a radio controller
3. code

If i am missing anything or anybody has any ideas on how i should get this started, if it is possible, then please let me know. And also can you tell me if nay of those parts are sold by this company.

Thank you smilewinkgrin.gif

    Of course you can do R/C, but IR is easier, cheaper, and 100% documented.

    All you need is a $4 sensor and a $5 universal remote control.

    See http://www.parallax.com/dl/docs/prod/audiovis/InfraredEmittingDiode.pdf·for starters. Then Robotics with the BoeBot.
