I cut the leads on the current limiting resistors and circuit protection diodes and just plugged them into the socket. I would not do that again because the vibration of the motors tends to break the connection between the round leads and socket. DIP sockets are designed for flat component leads - not round ones.

I installed the IR module on the top of the Socbot but you can put it on the front, rear, side, or even underneath. It is pretty sensitive so the universal remote control works from any angle.
