This is a great kit for beginners and seasoned pros alike, it would also make an ideal project for parents who want to teach their children how to work with electronics.
This robot car kit has the following features:
4-wheel Arduino-based design
IR Remote Control
Bluetooth Remote Control
Collision Avoidance
Line Following
Rechargeable LiPo batteries
No soldering, drilling, or cutting required
It’s a typical Arduino-based design so even if you aren’t using this specific kit I think you’ll find a lot of useful information for any Arduino robot in this video and the two that follow it. As always there is a corresponding article on the DroneBot Workshop website to help you out.
Because of all of the features of the robot car I’ve decided to split this into three videos and articles. In this video, I will go over the features of the robot car kit and then I’ll show you how to assemble it and give it a quick test.
In the next video, I will show you how to use the IR and Bluetooth remote control. The final video will cover the collision avoidance and line following features.
Here is what will be covered in this first video:
00:00 - Introduction
02:29 - Robot Car Kit Unboxing
07:44 - Elegoo Smart Robot Car features
09:18 - A look at the individual components
16:07 - Assembly Introduction
16:54 - Motor Mounts & motors to chassis
20:53 - L298N Mount
24:48 - Line Follow Sensor mount
27:43 - Arduino to top chassis & shield
31:14 - Battery compartment
33:48 - Servo Motor
36:09 - Ultrasonic Sensor
39:47 - Cable & wiring
44:01 - Bluetooth module & Tires
45:07 - Sample Arduino Code
51:21 - Robot Car Test

I'm 69 but I'm still a kid at heart. This looks like the perfect Christmas present from me to me!
Nice
Nice
nice
Nice age 🌚
nice
man i cannot thank you enough,, been watching this channel for long time.. time to subscribe.
A most excellent video, as I have come to expect, thank you for your outstanding teaching ability.
About to commence in online school for Robotics for the next few weeks and hoping this kit will do well at home! Thanks for these resources!
excellent iv been waiting for a well explained tutorial :)
I like the non-dupont wires.
Motor mounts are great.
Nice job on the motor connections, stress relived.
I notice several versions out on the web.
Thanks for the excellent tutorials, can hardly wait to assemble my Robot Car. Incidentally, Elegoo no longer packages the components in a Plastic Parts box. They use a cardboard box now but the components are still very well labelled.
Thanks Bill another fabulous video, looking forward to the next instalment ! What a great kit from Elegoo at last a kit that has it all, top marks to their team.
Ware can i get one at
PERFECT, exciting is the fact, there are 2 more videos to see and to do.
This is a great way to turn learning into fun!
Thank you so much from Bot- Workshop I so much appreciate the effort you have gone to teach us about these informative lessons, I only dream that I have the ability to be able to do the same for the public and I'm going to make an effort to do so and be able to teach others my talents or abilities like you have in these videos. Thank you
Thx, looking forward to assembling the Robot Car.
This guy is a life saver
Excellent presentation!Congratulations!
Your fluence is awesome I can undetstand all of your english
Awesome video. Thank you so much. It helped me a lot with my ELECT 14B class at San Joaquin Delta College.
Woooo ! You came back ! Nice to see youu !
The character of the young man in the 'Doctor' series is absolutely imitated from yours.
Thank you so much! Helped me a great deal :-)
Awesome, loved this
Great video! Just picked up this kit.
Turns out the electrical tape is to create a track for the car to follow.
Good for grandkids. Thanks
Hi, nice one, can't wait
Great guideline..
The kit now comes in a cardboard box. Just got one from Amazon, arrived a few minutes ago. Great Video!!!
A cardboard box with three separate boxes, then a manual and a container for the acrylic parts?
Excellent!
Thank you very much :)
Thank you 😊
Thank you. It is working! You are my teacher very nice voice
Though u may sound winded I don't mind listening to all the knowledge u r giving
I like Elegoo, they give you great quality products for a decent price. they don't over charge their customers
Useful and nice video 👍
A Mr. Rogers intro to Arduino kits. Thanks from a 70 year old!
Don't you wish this stuff was available before vision and dexterity started going downhill? Nothing implied. Just saying.
wow awosome...
Fabulous
Great tutorial! Do you have a follow-up video to show how you actually control the car remotely with bluetooth (code, etc.)? Thanks!
Ur AMAZINg Know that :D
Thanks for the quality and time you've taken for make this tutorials. Seeing you experience, would like a recommendation for started soldier iron kit and a nice set of stew drivers set for rc work related, if posible? Thanks in advance.
6:33 The tape is for line following.
Neat little product--it's too bad though that they didn't use something like the Mega2560 instead, as that would have given them more than one hardware serial port. I would think that you would then be able to have the BT module on Serial1, and thus be able to use the USB-based Serial port to help debug your BT code.
Overall though, a really cool little unit.
Great video. I wish it was a tutorial on the keywish panther tank bot kit. I have that kit and love the design of bot but unfortunately the code provided with the kit will not compile any of the motor test programs
This is how many tools this man has
⬇⬇
@Joshua Beattie xD
... bin gespannt wie es weiter geht - bin gespannt wie es weiter geht
Totally worth buying the Eleegoo instead of a Banggood copy. It’s hard to add your review comments after you get a chance to try to use it. The Banggood is a collection of parts not a kit. Leaves user struggling with wrong wires hardware and nothing fits. Most people will give up as no instructions and hard to match to RUclips videos. Unless you are experienced with a ton of tools and patience!
Great video…do you have a tour of your shop? I really like the workbench setup
the electrical tape is for line following
Does each motor can be controlled independently? and how about speed control? thanks
I just ordered one of these yesterdy. Different "brand" but all the same parts.
Can u tell me the name of motor driver
@@vinayagarwal9567 The robot car I built last year had an L298N based H bridge motor driver. I still experiment with that car from time to time and I'm thinking about replacing the L298N with a TB6612FNG. There is a video here in the DroneBot series that compares both devices and lots of tutorials all over RUclips. They're also easy to find on Amazon or the typical Chinese sites.
the tape is for line following not to tidy cables
Just subbed
👍
When I connect the arduino robot, I cannot see him in my device manager nor does a driver update pop up.
Can someone help me?
Thank you for this brilliant series, can't wait for the next vid :) Are you going to continue the XOD programming with this robot?
I am glad you mentioned XOD, that was my question. I think these are the best.
Bill, I wish I could give this video a second thumbs up, but RUclips doesn't allow that. It's now 0052 on 01 Jan 2022 and I was given an Elegoo v4 Smart Robot Car as a Christmas present, so I'm rewatching these videos and rereading the articles before starting in on it. I have to laugh, but my OCD will probably make me correct their misspellings in their code, if its still as bad as it was for v3! ;D (However, at least _they_ are multilingual, while I get by in my own native language, so I applaud anyone that does a fair-to-decent job at writing in a second (or third or...) language!)
how can I control turn angles? any help appreciated!
This is great, Thank you! Unfortunately, for someone who is "brand new", and I mean, this is their first time ever touching an Arduino, or using the development IDE, there is one missing piece. This is not a criticism, but a suggestion. Let me explain.
I received and built V4.0 of the car. Everything went together perfectly. Now, if I understand correctly, ALL of the software is already uploaded on this Arduino Uno. I believe, if I were to upload any other sketches to test or experiment with any sensors, I will overwrite whatever sketches are already on the car. I suspect that I need to download a backup copy of the sketch(es) already installed to a safe place so that I can re-upload them in order to restore all of the function. This is the part I do not know how to do.
So my suggestion is to include a "Backup Existing Sketches" step that comes right after "Bluetooth and Tires", but before "Sample Code". A complete Arduino amateur / novice like me could really benefit from this.
Thank you again for a great video!!!
Arduino Uno only holds one sketch at a time. I just went to the ELEGOO website and the code + tutorials are downloadable from there. From briefly looking at the documentation it seems the preloaded sketch is the one called AUTO_GO.
@@laly0033 Thank you so much for your reply - it's amazing how much I've learned in the two weeks since I posted that comment. Yes, now I understand that what's stored in the Arduino is actually machine code, and I did find the complete set of source code. I've since successfully installed and reinstalled both the Robot Car base code and the IDE multiple times now. I think that there is an assumption on the manufacturers part that the consumer already has a certain level of understanding of the "moving parts".
wooowwww
does this work for v2.0
Nit-picky critique: If they had threaded the holes in the motor mount block then the nuts would not have been needed and you would not have had to get pliers. BTW: The only reason I am not ordering this cool kit right now is that I bought an older version a couple of years ago, built it, and had a blast with it, Unfortunately there is no need for me to buy the new and updated kit, dang it.
I also want to make the same rodot but Iam looking for uno shield which support all seasoners at a time ???could u help me???
Ha DroneBot workshop as you instructed I completed building robot car and also inserted the code but my car didn’t work could you please help me with my problem or give a guess about what did I do wrong
on the website for this is says the motors are 6 to 12 volts? but they look very small, can you run this with a 12volt powersupply? or will that fry the hardware?
Is the code already built in
screws or bolts wtd
Thank you for your amazing videos! I am envisioning a heavy duty version of this car for moving heavy things (10, 20, 30 kg?). Id like to build my own. Any thoughts?
there is a part 2?
I can't seem to find part 2. Can you please drop a link ?
Where can I get second part video
Les MAIN3 de Polytech Sorbonne, manifestez-vous!
I don't have the battery pack. Could I use a 9V battery for the Arduino and 9V for the Motor Controller?
Hey I like your lisp !
one question can i use nephew remote toy car? i want this car with arduino my Android app remote. Function can extend too?
hi nice video, i wonder how it can turn left or right, i dont see the wheels turn, it only go back and forth, is there a fifth wheel??
some of the wheels go backward and some go forward at the same time to turn a direction
How can I add (nRF24L01) on hummer bot V4.0?
I want the file of the designe
Hi mate, how to order a kits, to use it for controlling motor, but in a bigger size? Many thanks.
do you need to know any programming experience to assemble and use? I want to buy for my 12 year old.
How to control that car using python connecting to bluetooth?
How much money is bc I can not find it in the store
Just curious... does "DESTROY ALL HUMANS" go in the void setup?
Tried uploading code but it says Problem uploading code. Please help.
jeje while i seen te part of the mounting seccion of the motors and coneccion of them, i had a revelation, why only use 1 LM driver?, i didn´t see the "coding part" but i see the code that controls the 4 motors whits one LM and the hardware needed, its ... wow. maybe i have some grammatical errors. english not are my natal language.
great kit of elegoo and great videos.
Thanks for the video! Are you from the coal region in PA? Asking because when you say batteries it sounds like you're saying "bat trees".
It looks like you have skipped the fact that charger has chinese type plug. So an adapter to it will be required.
Hola, podias pasar el codigo?
Cost of kit please
sir please some videos on esp8266 wifi module
Ah-HA! You said no more tools would be needed, but you used a pair of pliers that did not come with the kit. No, don't argue, you know that without some way to firmly hold those little nuts the car would not have held together (at least that was my experience when I built this kit..) That said, this is a wonderful kit and a wonderful introduction to the Arduino. I recommend it highly. Thank you for these videos. A little side note, for learning to program the Arduino, try looking for a C programming tutorial online, even on RUclips. You don't have to take the entire course, just about the first half will do to get you familiar with basic commands and programming structure. Many basic C commands work in the Arduino, including string manipulation routines, even "sprintf" (to a limited degree.) The Arduino programs that come with this kit work well enough to whet your appetite, but badly enough to beg improvement. For instance, for obstacle avoidance, after you have the car turning properly and tripping down the hall, have the ultrasonic sensor look left and right (as well as forward) to sense if the car is getting too close to the wall. I programmed one of the buttons of the IR controller to make the car do a little dance.
I would also have motors additional for better turning so the motors for driving the wheels be under less stress as well
@@England91 Actually, one of the biggest changes I would make to the design would be to place the ultrasonic sensor a little closer to the ground, or give the car some other way to detect the toe of my shoe in front of it. With this design the ultrasonic sensor looks out over my show and does not see it. Another fix would be to mount three ultrasonic sensors, one on the servo as now, but two more fixed at right angles to detect an oblique approach to the wall. Then the servo-mounted sensor could look a little left and right, but it would not need to swing 180 degrees to detect walls. That takes a lot of time and detection is spotty.
Idk why I laughed so hard when you put the robot on the floor. I think it's because the thing is so stupid even though it has all those sensors, I guess the magic's in the code.
Side note; I find it very endearing that you can't hold eye contact with the camera while asking us to subscribe, as if it's some sort of big favour that you shouldn't ask for. Lol, you're too kind.
It"s so hard
how is the vehicle able to turn without having to steer the tires
Can you give me a link to the code.Thanks
Yes
🌷🧡🌷
Can you give me coding
your little video has so many adds in it it is unwatchable.
👍
