Though this RC program is fairly straightforward, this is where the program can become monotonous and confusing. We have 10 cases to program, so writing this program will get pretty repetitive. Not to worry though, because soon you will have a working RC program!

The first case to set up is our default nothing case. This case will execute when none of the remote buttons are pressed and it will stop all of the robot's ...
