This is my first instructable, hope you enjoy! Here is the build video:https://vimeo.com/552121842 (sorry, you have to copy and paste). you can watch it on Vimeo. In the video i show you how to build a remote controlled/unmanned robot. the code can be found below.

Code

For the code i will used the block-based coding platform used to code Lego mind storms that you can find at https://www.lego.com/en-ca/themes/mindstorms/downloads , scroll down and you can download the correct version for you're device.

so on to the code:

Remote Control Code

for the remote control code, its really simple. It's just telling the robot witch motors to move in witch direction when a specific button is pressed. There is also a bit of code for the medium motor, there you can add any extension you want to your robot. (the part circled in blue is the code for the medium motor).

so it goes through a forever loop and if one of the buttons are pressed it will go back of forward.

the first number (1/2/3/4) is witch port you pugged the sensor in. then the second number (1/2/3/4) is witch option its on (theirs this red thing in the middle of the remote that you can switch from 1 through 4 (the number is on the small red circle)) (image 2)

and the last one is witch button.

i can't put any files because it won't accept any .ismp files

Unmanned Code

the unmanned code is just a simple obstacle avoidance code, so the robot starts moving and whenever the sensor detects something close enough it will turn for 1.5 seconds then stop, and keep going

Extensions

you can add any extensions to the medium motor, here are a few good ideas: a claw, a rotatable phone holder(to take a video), or really anything else
