    • Middle Position- no movement
    • Right Position- NULL
    • Left Position- NULL
  • The right joystick is for controling the direction of the Droid.
    • Up Position- forward
    • Down Position- highest speed

    • Right Position- turn right
    • Left Position- turn left

• While the Droid is powered the sound module will keep sounding 4 different sounds in loop.
