Landing page captured for the 2026-08-31 issue.

Field notes

BlueMote separates control and video transport: BLE carries the small robot-control packets while an MJPEG feed can sit behind the landscape gamepad over Wi-Fi. The documentation names specific integration points, including btbricks RCReceiver, a micro:bit V2 MakeCode extension, LMS-ESP32 MicroPython firmware, Pybricks, and OpenMV. The page also records a concrete hardware limitation: micro:bit V1 does not have enough memory for BLE.
