Since your BOE Shield-Bot already has IR receivers, how about using an infrared TV remote to drive it around? This project provides the instructions and Arduino code.
The BOE Shield for Arduino Robot (a.k.a Shield-Bot) allows the tried-and-true Boe-Bot robotics platform to be powered by an Arduino. Although the internet is full of ideas and projects for the Arduino, there are few good resources for getting started and learning the core skills necessary to be proficient with the Arduino as a microcontroller. By adapting our Boe-Bot materials to the Arduino microcontroller, we have created a student-friendly, yet thorough introduction for students and teachers who want to use the Arduino and are new to programming, electronics, and robotics.
The Boe-Bot Robot is programmed using PBASIC – arguably the easiest text-based language for beginners to learn. Ideal for students who are new to programming, electronics, and robotics, the Boe-Bot is a time-tested platform, making it one of the best places for students to begin learning. The complete Robotics with the Boe-Bot learning system includes the educator resources, hardware, software, and textbooks.
Turn your BASIC Stamp-based Boe-Bot into an Arduino Uno-based Shield-Bot with our Retrofit Kit. Try “Robotics with the BOE Shield for Arduino” and its breadboard-based DIY sensor circuits. Follow up with bonus Shield-Bot projects, Robot Competition Ideas, and other Arduino-friendly Parallax sensors and accessories.
