SunFounder Raspberry Pi Smart Video Robot Car Kit V2.0: Explore with Graphical Visual Programming Language, Pi 4B Included Review

When I received and opened the box with the robot car, it was packed very loosely. The screwdriver pierced the box. Although all the parts were there, it was in ruins. When I started assembling the car, the rear half plate angle support for the two bikes was not 90 degrees. I contacted the company about this and the replacement was fine. They said it was ok but they would send a new backplate half. It was 3 weeks ago. I also had trouble fitting the rear wheels onto the wheel motors without…

The first assembly step couldn't be done properly without the front wheel hex mounting plate, but we assembled the wheels anyway, in faith that we could add them right after the spare parts were shipped and that the screw would hold without them. However, the Raspberry Pi, advertised as a way to learn to program, does not connect to the network to even log in to start programming. The guide describes a number of different approaches to setting up an SD card for the Pi. None of these approaches…

TL;DR later buy a raspberry pi instead. You can find parts everywhere. It will probably work much better than that. In addition, you can always find the source code for the build very easily. Absolutely awful, I had to debug the included code and finally had to find something on Github to get it working. The remotes are powered by Django (which I use VERY often for web development) and it's not the best choice for remote control. Turning is almost impossible because the wheels are set back, the

The first step of the build can't be done properly without the hex plate to attach the front wheel, but we did it ourselves never mind putting the wheels together, believing that we could add them once the parts shipped and that the screw would hold things in place without them. However, the Raspberry Pi, advertised as a way to learn to program, does not connect to the network to even log in to start programming. The guide describes a number of different approaches to setting up an SD card for…

As promised, here is my updated review: They had excellent customer service to replace missing parts. The parts were sent immediately. It took me two weeks because it comes from China. But I was finally able to assemble the robot. The rest of the build went smoothly, although mounting the camera is a bit tricky. I managed it after several tries. Also, the instruction sometimes had to be interpreted due to incorrect English. After assembly everything was great. It was easy to install the OS and…
