Rover Remote Add-On – Wireless Control for Your Rover

Take your Bit Board Rover to the next level with this gaming-style remote control! Easily assembled, wired & programmed, this add-on to Rover kits gives a familiar feel to driving while allowing the Rover’s third servo to be triggered remotely. Assembly of this kit requires the use of a small phillips-head screwdriver. Operation requires a second Micro:BitTM in excess of the one used to power a given Rover (not included). Each individual kit is appropriate for use with one to three makers.

By popular request we're now selling a complete Thumbstick Remote Kit for the Bit Board Rover. Control your Rover or Tank with this easy to assemble kit. It takes minutes to build and can be used with any Micro:Bit project you dream up.

Note: You don't NEED this kit to remote control your Rover. We have guides on how to do that with a smart phone or raw Micro:Bit. If you have the electronics you can also 3D print or laser cut your own version of this kit using our free resources.

The Rover Remote Kit is an optional add-on kit for the Bit Board Rover Kit. It uses a Bit Board, Micro:Bit, and two thumbsticks to control the Rover or Tank in a classic game controller style. The entire project is powered by a 2 AAA battery holder that's been designed to work in a brick based environment. You will need a Micro:Bit in order to use this remote and we can provide one if needed.

Included Components:

• Laser Cut Body
• Thumbsticks
• Ribbon Cable 
• AAA Battery Holder with Brick Adaptor
• Connector Pegs and Beams
• Nuts and Screws
