Help with wireless animatronics

hi there, im currently working on an animatronic baby project.

i have a 24 ch mini maestro and can happily set the animatronic to a pre-programmed routine. however i would like to control the whole animatronic by remote control. im just not quite sure where to start. additionally the whole animatronic is based on 17 servos, so im not certain if this would need multiple controls or a custom built control.

im quite a novice in regards to all of the programming side of things, so if possible id really like a very basic breakdown of possible solutions if at all possible.

thanks in advance, Alex
