Building the Elegoo Smart Robot Car Part 1 - Arduino based robotics project

In this first of three videos, I will be assembling the Elegoo Smart Robot Car kit.

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.
