It doesn't require any modification to the Spider or controller. Step 1) Use the mirocontroller to read the IR codes (Forward, Back, Left & Right) for both channel A and B. Step 2) Program the microcontroller (along with appropriate circuit) to control 2 spiders (or inchworms) at the same time! Done it. Quite a fun project.
