I recently bought a robocom 1000 and it powers up but I have no remote or anything else. ! want to rewire it and have no idea where to start?help!!

Hi,
There would most likely be a few ways to approach this situation:
]Hunt down contact information of the original manufacturer or designer to get more details on the protocols used by the remote control receiver. This would allow you to more easily either emulate the remote control using another device, such as an Arduino microcontroller board with the proper emitter./:m]
]Open up the robot, check what kind of receiver it is using and try and reverse-engineer the protocol used. (basically, send patterns until one does something!)./:m]
]You could also try to go for a more advanced hack (like skipping the original receiver completely), but that can get complicated fast./:m]
All being said, this will be neither easy nor simple (unless you can find someone who already did so online?).
Good luck, and do post again here when you figure most stuff out!
Sincerely,
