The Project

It is a remote control car that uses Micro:bit radio technology to control it. It was very fun to make and even more fun to play with.

Team Comments

I chose to make this project because...

I had the Micro:bit move motor/buggy and the game pad and I thought that it would be a fun, cool project to do

What I found difficult and how I worked it out

I found the problem of making the Micro:bit game pad compatible to the move motor hard. I overcame this by discovering that I could use the set of blocks on Microsoft Make Code and radio tech to make them respond to each other.

Next time, I would...

I would fix the turn glitch, there is a problem when the buggy is on a slightly slippery surface and it does not turn properly. I would add grips to the wheels and add flashing lights, buzzing and sound.
