IR Remote Controlled Shield-Bot
A simple universal remote control, programmed to use the Sony protocol, can also control
your Shield-Bot using the same IR Receiver included in the kit. The project code allows you
to switch between 3 modes on the go: remote control, autonomous roaming with object
avoidance, and follow-the-leader behavior.

Hardware Add-Ons
The Crawler Legs (left, #30055) and Tank Treads (right, #28106) give alternate modes of
locomotion to your Shield-Bot robot. You may run the same navigation code, but the ground
speed will be different so you may need to adjust the duration of different maneuvers.
