Introduction
Almost every modern home has one or more remote control device, such as television
or CD player. There are two major types of remote control, depending on the
transmission signal used.
This RC robot uses the first type: infrared light (IR). It is commonly used for TV and
home appliance control because of lower cost and it will not interfere with other radio
devices. However, the range is short and the remote control must point at the device.
In other words, the device must be able to “see”the control signal from the remote.
Furthermore, it does not work well outdoors because the infrared part of sunlight will
interfere the sensor.
The other type of remote control uses radio wave, it is often used in car security alarm,
radio controlled planes and video game consoles, etc. They have the advantages of
longer range, and will not be blocked by walls and objects in between. However, they
are more expensive and may interfere with other radio devices.
How does a remote control work?
Most control remotes for electronic appliances use a near infrared diode to emit a
beam of light that reaches the device. This infrared light is invisible to the human eye,
but picked up by sensors on the receiving device. Video cameras see the diode as if it
produces visible purple light. The sensor converts the light pulses into electrical signal
and passes it to the microprocessor which decodes them as commands, for example,
to turn left or move forward.

4 Long lever x2
5 Switch cap x1
6 Circuit board x1
7 Switch x1
8 leg x6
9 Antenna part x4

Steps:
1. Combine the antenna parts (9). (Fig.
2)
2. Insert the antennae to the body frame
(10). (Fig. 3)
3. Install the body top (11) over the
body frame (10). (Fig. 4)

4. Attach the transmission shafts (2),
the long lever (4) and short lever (3)
to the leg (8) using the long screw
(12) as shown in Fig. 5. Use the
screwdriver (17) to help you. The
screw should be tightly attached to
the shaft but still allows the leg and
the levers to rotate freely. Note that
the long lever should be in between
the transmission shaft and the short
lever. Repeat by using another leg.
5. Add a leg (8) to the short and long
lever using the short screws (13), as
shown in Fig. 6. Repeat to assemble
the other set of legs.
6. Attach another short lever (3) to the
middle leg using a short screw, as
shown in Fig. 7. Repeat for the other
side.
7. Install the legs assembled in the
previous step to the chassis (1) using
the long screws (12)and screwdriver
as shown in Fig. 8. Make sure the
screws are firmly secured to the
chassis but still allow the legs to
move freely.

8. Attach the feet to the legs using the
remaining short screws as shown in
fig. 9.
9. Cover the switch (7) with the cap (5).
Install the battery box (14), the
switch (7) and the circuit board (6)
on the chassis. See Fig 10.
10. Connect the different plugs to the
circuit board:
i. Battery - socket “BAT”
ii. Right motor - socket “M1”
iii. Left motor –socket “M2”
iv. Switch - socket “SW1”.
See Fig. 11.
11. Use the screwdriver (17) to loosen
the screw in the battery compartment
door of the battery box (14), install 3
AAA batteries according to the
polarity mark. (Fig. 12) Replace the
door and tighten the screw. Similarly,
install 3 AAA batteries into the
remote control (15) as shown in Fig.
13.

12. Attach the body frame (10) in step 3
onto the chassis, as shown in Fig. 14.
Done!
13. There is a channel select switch on
the circuit board and the remote
control. The remote control must be
set to the same channel (1, 2 or 3) as
the robot to be able to control it. If
you are playing with your friends,
each must choose a different channel
so that one will not interfere with the
other units. (Fig. 15)
14. Push the red power button on the
robot and the triangle button (A) on
the remote control to turn it on. Point
the remote control towards the unit.
Push both control sticks of the
remote control forward or backward
at the same time to move it in
straight line. Move them in opposite
directions to make a turn. (Fig. 16)
