As you can see, I made this myself from junk parts (since my hobby is electronics) I have a small problem with how to make it move. I soldered on an 8-battery connector (I would use lithium batteries, but I don't have any) and I'd like to know if there's any way to control it, I've tried several brand-name and generic remotes, but none seem to work. The LEDs light up and everything, but I can't control it, (Recommendations?)
