remote controle arduino

Heya there,

I’ve seen this remote control kitt:

and I have a question about it,

in the picture, I can see a remote (duh)

but can it be used to controll an arduino robot (seperate from the controller)?

(or with a cable between them?)

Doesn’t look like it, but you could use one of those and an Arduino with an infrared LED to send commands to another Arduino with an infrared receiver.

Or use two Xbees (wireless) to send the appropriate data between the two to do what you want.
