BlueTooth Remote Control

The BlueTooth remote control was created using a second LEGO Mindstorms NXT programmable brick and 4 additional touch sensors. The 4 top mounted touch sensors control the cube's direction of movement: forward, reverse, left and right skid-steer. The NXT's orange button controls the illumination of the G4 Cube's Apple Logo. The NXT's left arrow button, when bumped, raises the wheeled mobile unit and stops when the cube's onboard touch sensor is pressed. The NXT's right arrow button, when bumped, controls the lowering of the cube's wheeled mobile unit and is controlled by the number of rotations as measured by an internal rotation sensor.
