Project #5
OBJECTIVE: To build a remote control vehicle with two sound
levels.
Two-Sound Rover
Build the circuit shown and turn on the slide
switch (S1). Turn on the remote control unit,
extend the antenna, and use the levers try to
drive the Rover around. Press the left or right
buttons to activiate the horn (W1); press both for

Helpless Rover
Project #6
Flip the Rover body so it is upside down and connect
the jumper wires to the body and slide switch (S1) as
shown. Turn on the switch to watch the wheels and
gears move.
Notice that the smaller gears are spinning much
faster than the larger gears and wheels. The
smallest gears (on the motor) are actually spinning
128 times faster than the wheels. See page 6 for
more information about the gears.
Option A: Swap the connection points of the gray
and orange jumper wires on the Rover rear. Now the
wheels and gears spin in the opposite direction.
