Driving via Remote Control

Driving Arlo with Sony Remote!

With BlocklyProp, driving with the Sony IR Remote is just as easy with Arlo as it is with the S3 or with an Activity Bot! Here is the BlocklyProp code link -http://blockly.parallax.com/blockly/my/projects.jsp#13037 This is based on the info in IR Remote Control Activity Bot with Blockly tutorial here -http://learn.parallax.com/…/ir-remote-control-activitybot-b… and is similar to the S3 tutorial for the Sony Remote. Fun, impressive and simple!

Here are some videos demonstrating remote-controlled robots - It is an old idea, but is still used today! Arlo with a Sony remote from a few feet away....

Same idea - different distances!
