Hi, Does anyone have any info on how to control the boe-bot with a
universal remote control...?
universal remote control...?

12bit SIRC (Sony IR Control), the limiting thing here is that you need
to buy a sony universal remote or use a original one. You only need an
available stamp pin and a Sharp GP1U52X available from RadioShak
(#276-137) or a Panasonic PNA4602M that comes with the stamp kit, both
works well.
You might have to use two stamps cause this app needs all speed from the
processor, so time is important (one for the boe-bot and another to the
remote), but you can mix the program in one so you'll have one processor
on your boe, one last thing, this app consumes a lot of ram on the BS2
since it have not enough speed to process the bit before the next one
arrives, so you'll have to keep them all in separated word sized
variables, if you want to solve this use a BS2SX and you'll find no
problems cause it haves more speed and therefore you would use only 1
word sized variable instead of 12!!.
You can modify the code so you can store numbers in EPPROM and configure
the movement of your boe!! Pretty cool huh!!
I've attached the program!!
If you want more info, please contact me through the list. (my English
is not good at all, I'm from Venezuela je je [noparse]:)[/noparse] )

one basic robot with a BS2 that worked reasonably well. I am now
trying to build a robot with a BS2 that I want to be able to remote
control. I initially planned to use the 418 mHz transmitter keychain
remote thing but it only has five buttons and I want quite a few
more than that. I was wondering if anyone has other suggestions?
as the keychain transmitter sends the bits in parallel. I created a
Halloween display with a Quadravox unit that was activated by the
keychain remote. I used the center button as a "shift" function giving
me eight choices.
Honestly, it's tough to push more than two buttons at a time, but even
at that, you can get these combinations:
(A)
(D)(E)(B)
(C)
A
B
C
D
E
AB
AC
AD

I am reasonably new to robotics, electronics, and stuff. I did build
one basic robot with a BS2 that worked reasonably well. I am now
trying to build a robot with a BS2 that I want to be able to remote
control. I initially planned to use the 418 mHz transmitter keychain
remote thing but it only has five buttons and I want quite a few
more than that. I was wondering if anyone has other suggestions?

You have quite a few options.
1. As Jon mentioned, you can press combinations of buttons on the Parallax
keychain type transmitter.
2. Construct your own RF transmitter/receiver circuits using the Holtek series
8-bit encoder/decoder ICs. You have 8-bits latching + 1 momentary.
3. Use infrared. Parallax has several app-notes for decoding Sony IR
transmitters.
4. Use a dedicated Sony decoder IC.
We carry the Holtek 4-bit & 8-bit encoder/decoder ICs with several RF
transmitter
receiver modules, custom 8-pin (address learning) 4-bit decoder ICs for the
4-bit
encoder series, and two versions of Sony IR decoder ICs.
Take a peek at our remote control store for many different options.
http://www.rentron.com/PicBasic/RemoteControl.htm
Our IR-D15A IC provides 14 "momentary" outputs that remain ON while holding the
transmitter button down, and 1 "latching" output that is toggled ON & OFF when
depressing and releasing the transmitters power or ON / OFF button.
