Antenna Front of Rover – The R/C Snap Rover Kit uses building blocks with snaps to build the different electrical and electronic circuits in the projects. Each block has a function: there are switch blocks, LED blocks, different length wire blocks, etc. These blocks are in different colors and have numbers on them so that you can easily identify them.

How It Works Remote Control Transmitter: When the levers in the Remote Control Unit are pushed, electrical contacts are made connecting the 9V battery power to the transmitter, indicating which commands the user wants sent to the Rover. Forwards/Backwards commands for each set of wheels and two extra functions are controlled by different levers or buttons.
(S1) to ON, and extend the antenna on the Remote Control. Push both levers forward to make Snap Rover go forward. Push both levers backward to go backward. Push the left lever backward and the right lever forward to turn left.
Warning to Snap Circuits owners: Do not use parts from other Snap Circuits sets with this kit except for the circuits on page 22. The Snap Rover uses higher voltage which could damage those parts. Our web site www.snapcircuits.net also has approved circuits that you can use.
Advanced Troubleshooting Elenco ® Electronics is not responsible for parts damaged due to incorrect wiring. If you suspect you have damaged parts, you can follow this procedure to systematically determine which ones need replacing: Rover body and jumper wires: Flip the Rover body upside down and make sure the wheel mechanisms are clean.
The left button on the remote control activates the horn (W1). You can use Snap Rover in a dark room since the LED (D4) is positioned as a headlight. Spin Snap Rover around and use caution when backing up.
Project #2 Note Install six (6) “AA” batteries into the bottom of the Rover body and one 9V battery into the remote control unit (batteries not included). Install the antenna in to the remote control unit by screwing it in. Place the base grid on the Rover body;...
Build the circuit, place the base grid centered on the Rover body, and connect the jumper wires as shown. Place the Snap Rover in the middle of a dimly lit room and turn on the slide switch (S1). The light will shine around the room as Snap Rover spins.
Project #5 Note Project #6 Rover Rear REAR ROVER (upside down) Two-Sound Rover OBJECTIVE: To build a remote control vehicle with two sound l e v e l s . Build the circuit shown and turn on the slide switch (S1). Turn on the remote control unit, extend the antenna, and use the levers try to drive the Rover around.
Project #7 Note Project #8 Note Rover rear (upside down) -13- OBJECTIVE: To learn about Morse code. Build the circuit, connect the jumper wires, and turn on the slide switch (S1). Turn on the remote control unit and extend the antenna. Press the buttons on the remote control to generate long or short bursts of sound (from the W1 horn) or light (from the D4 LED).

Project #19 Note Project #20 -19- Water Detector OBJECTIVE: To show how water conducts electricity. Build the circuit at left and connect the jumper wires to it, but leave the loose ends of the green and yellow jumpers lying on the table initially. Turn on the slide switch (S1) - the LED (D4) will be dark because the air separating the jumpers has very high resistance.

If you own Snap Circuits Models SC-300, SC-500, or SC-750 (with 300+ experiments), then you may also build these circuits. Our web site (www.snapcircuits.net) has additional circuits. DO NOT use parts from other Snap Circuits kits with your Snap Rover except in our approved circuits - the Snap Rover uses higher voltage which could damage those parts.
