  • Page 4 REMOTE-CONTROL MACHINES | The Remote Control System This kit offers children a new experience with remote control toys. It incorporates a touch pad remote-controller and three geared motors into a set of building com- ponents. Children can use the building blocks to construct a series of machines, and then control them using the six capacitive sensors (touch pads) on the remote Motor 1 control.
  • Page 5 The Remote Control System | REMOTE-CONTROL MACHINES B. RECEIVER/BATTERY HOLDER When the IR receiver receives a message from the remote controller, the built-in IC chip will judge which corresponding touch pads were touched, and then convert the control message into the corresponding electrical outputs. Three AA bat- teries (1.5 V) are set in series in the receiver/battery holder.
  • Page 6 REMOTE-CONTROL MACHINES | About the Gears Gears are wheels with teeth on them. The teeth, or cogs, of one gear mesh with The gears in this gear system come in five different types: 20T, 40T, 60T, 80T, and the teeth of another gear to transmit force between them. A combination of two 160T, the extra large gears.
  • Page 7 About the Gears | REMOTE-CONTROL MACHINES The pitch diameter of the gears in this gear system is proportional to the number of gear teeth. In other words, the pitch diameter of the 20T gears is 20 millimeters while the pitch diameter of the 40T gears is 40 millimeters.
  • Page 8 REMOTE-CONTROL MACHINES | About the Gears UNDERSTANDING GEARS 3 Use two 20T gears, two 60T gears, two small axles, and one medium axle to assemble the structure in Fig. 14. How many times do you need to turn gear A to make gear D rotate once? You will see that the gear ratio for the 20T gear A to drive the 60T gear B is 3:1, while the gear ratio for 20T gear C to drive 60T gear D is 3:1.
  • Page 9 About the Gears | REMOTE-CONTROL MACHINES UNDERSTANDING GEARS 6 ROTARY GEARBOX Worm gears The gears in this kit can combine in yet another way. A worm gear and gear wheel are combined together as a worm gearbox. As the worm gear rotates once, the gear wheel turns only a one-tooth distance.
