Smart Robot Camera Car Kit

Nephew loved it!

Exactly what it says

excelente producto, lo probe y fue genial.

I wrote the following review before I determined that the car cannot be used without the Windows program being available to download code to the car's processor. Unfortunately, this means that Mac users cannot use the Phone based apps or the IR remote. The vendor should publish the Windows requirement in the product description. First off, some kit information for prospective buyers: 1) The batteries this kit needs are (one) 2025 button cell for the remote control and (two) 18650 rechargeable lithium batteries. I bought a set of the 18650 batteries from Amazon with a charger since it is unclear if the USB-C port on the car can be used for charging. 2) The tutorial and the programming software is for Windows. There is some reference to MAC software, but I have not had an opportunity to puzzle out just what that provides. The chip AceBott uses appears to share some programming tools with Arduino processors. A Wiki is available on the Acebott website which provides more information. 3) The kit provides a tiny screwdriver and wrench (also some tiny cable ties and electrical tape). A couple of steps require two wrenches, but a set of needle nose pliers will do the job. I would recommend a Phillips head screwdriver with a larger handle and small bits. 4) As a helpful hint, you will be putting some tiny nuts on tiny bolts. I found that wrapping sticky tape inside out on a finger tip and sticking the tiny nuts on the tape really helps the assembly process. Second, I like the kit. It comes with parts in individual, labelled bags and all of the parts have gone together easily. Extra nuts, bolts and a few other small parts are provided. The kit is also interesting for anyone interesting in a computer based STEM project and it produces a fun STEM toy. It has sufficient sensors and capabilities to keep a student entertained while providing a programming introduction. The car can be operated with the provided remote control and both Android and IOS applications are available so it can be used without programming. Now for the my reservations and some constructive criticism: 1) They should put the battery requirements someplace other than the inside of the kit's battery box. 2) This kit is not really suited for an 8 year old. I would suggest that 12 or 13 year olds would be the starting target audience. 3) It would be helpful if numbers on the parts bags were referenced in the instructions 4) Speaking of the assembly instructions, they are not included but are downloaded from the vendors website. A number of documents are shown on the website and it took a few tries to get the assembly instructions. 5) The instructions are usable, but rather terse. A bit more descriptive wording would improve the experience.

Muy divertido y genial

Great for learning Arduino. Some software updates causes parent intervention, so be aware of that

Buena compra.

Bad product, the esp32 doesn’t work. Windows doesn’t recognize the circuit.
