Robot Car Kit for Arduino

• Improve logical thinking, mechanical, and electrical abilities

• Learn how to build and program fully-functional robots.

• Perfect gift for anyone who is interested in programming, robotics, electronics, or mechanical design

WiFi Internet of Things Device

• Use this mode to set your car as a WiFi hotspot and move your car with the app

• Connect your mobile device to the same LAN and experience the modern intelligence that the 'Internet of Things' brings to home robotics

Using WiFi mode, your robotic car can utilize 3 unique functions:

• Manual Control

• Line Tracking

• Obstacle Avoidance

IR Remote Control

Use the included infrared remote control to control your cars movements. Make left and right turns, or move forward and backwards.

Imitate Real-World Driving

• Use the app to imitate real-world driving with your iOS or Android device

• The app provides a virtual steering wheel and gear that allows you to imitate real-world driving

Obstacle Avoidance

• Practice your programming skills to teach your robotic car to avoid obstacles

• Your car can detect the distance between itself and an obstacle with the ultrasonic sensor, allowing it to stop and move according to the parameters you set

Object follow

• Use this mode to program your car to follow an object

• Your car will receive a signal from the IR obstacle avoidance module and then your program will drive the car to follow the object

Line Tracking Mode

• Program your robot to move along a track with the 5 tracking sensor modules at the front of the car

• Includes 5 black and white tracking sensors (compared to 3 most competitors use) allowing for a wider range of detection and movement

Easy to Assemble Wifi Shield

The female connector on the WiFi Expansion Shield is clearly marked, making assembly precise and easy.

• Supervised Use – Always supervise young children while playing with STEM and Montessori toys to ensure safe and proper use.
• Cleaning & Maintenance – Wipe wooden, plastic, and electronic parts with a soft, damp cloth. Avoid soaking in water or using harsh chemicals.
  
• Storage – Store toys in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to maintain durability and color.
  
• Battery-Operated Items – Remove batteries when not in use for long periods to prevent leakage and damage.
  
• Assembly & Parts – Ensure all parts are securely attached before play. Small components should be kept out of reach of children under 3 years old.
  
• Longevity – Encourage gentle handling to extend the life of educational kits and ensure consistent learning value.
  
• Age Appropriateness – Follow the recommended age guidelines for each toy to provide the safest and most effective learning experience.
