Review: A very simple device that allows more intuitive control for the Mbot, particularly when motion is required. the remote that comes with the robot can be clunky. Keep in mind that it requires coding to use. The controller's joysticks transmit -255 to +255 on both x and y axis to the robot, so the code you create needs to capture those values and apply them in form of output (e.g. movement). I was teaching a group of kids at a local elementary school basic engineering and they only understood why a simple line following algorithm was 'cool' only after they tried to 'out drive' or catch up to the Mbot running the algorithm. When you put this controller in their hands and they feel confident in their ability to control the Mbot because the controller reacts much the same way a console game controller does. That confidence quickly fades when the Mbot unfailingly catches them. It really helps make the Mbot part of a world they already understand and helps build their interest in engineering.
Review: This Remote Controller works great from Mblock platform for control of Ranger Robot.
