This tutorial shows you how an IR remote can drive your ActivityBot, using BlocklyProp graphical programming. The only sensor needed is a single IR Receiver included with the ActivityBot Robot Kit. But, if your ActivityBot already has the PING))) sensor or Whisker switch circuits in place, leave them on and they can play too!
Before you Start
