🚗 VKmaker Smart Robot Car Chassis Kit with Speed Encoder, Ultrasonic Module, and Battery Box - New Avoidance Tracking Motor System 2WD. Includes Tutorial CD. Review

This is a great value robot kit. No instructions or codes are included. So if you are looking for a step-by-step instruction kit, this is not the kit to buy. This kit is a collection of independent parts that are assembled into a package and then sold as a "kit". So if you don't drill additional holes in the robot body, you won't line up all the screw holes in the circuit boards with the body. holes. In all of this there are some fun hours of layout, assembly, assembly and coding.

I bought 2 of these sets. Just can't beat them at cost. The instructions are useless. None of the kits I bought listed a battery box in the instructions, which skews the placement of the parts on the chassis. For good instructions and code, see the links in the questions section of the product description on Revain. It won't be a good beginner's kit - on the downside, it's tricky and fun to sort/search/learn your own way to make it work. I recently bought a Lafvin kit for just a few more…

For the price this is a fantastic deal. I really like that they soldered the wires to the motors and shorted them with hot glue, nice touch. The DVD that came with mine was broken but who cares, there are lots of guides on the internet to build these cars, that's part of the fun. I would like to add two battery boxes, one for the board and one for the motors, but that's ok. For your first Arduino project I recommend the Elegoo Super Starter Kit, give it a try, try out all the sensors and then…

I couldn't understand the DVD that came with it, but there are plenty of instructions and how to set it up that are part of it. fun so bundled. The motors have some momentum, but the robot won't go straight without some sort of control. The motors come with an encoder but no encoder for their use. It's a pretty standard part that you can also buy from Revain and one reason I bought this kit was to make the wheel rotation PID controlled so I'm not complaining. For a cheap kit the parts are…

I'm a geek. I create things, I modify things, and I'm not new to Arduino. I wanted something I could learn more with and chose this kit because of the parts included and the low price. I only used the instructions in the video to see the contrast between them and those linked in other comments. The videos and instructions that come with the product are not good. Was able to use the instructions mentioned by other reviewers. When that was all done, I uploaded and pasted the code. It didn't work…

It comes with all listed parts and instructions on DVD+R that you absolutely need. There is an 18 minute tutorial video that is very helpful. You need to extract .rar archive with WinRAR or Archive on Mac then you will have .mp4 video file. Although I have 4 years of experience with Arduino and others, I think others with less experience should be able to complete the project. Assembling the hardware is the easy and fun part. Since they upgraded the kit to a 6 battery holder (the manual uses a…

This wasted so much time it's actually insane. I ordered it last year hoping to use the downtime to learn a little more about electronics. Coming from a software development background, they wanted something relatively cheap and simple to start with. By the time I was done with that, it wasn't the cheapest option anymore, and it wasn't easy at all. I later found that this kit is almost standard as a teaching tool for schools, not because of its price or convenience, but mainly because of its…

As mentioned earlier, there are a few bugs in this set. The problems I have found are as follows: 1 - The holes in the roller are too big for the offset fasteners. 8 washers 3M perfectly fixed it. 2 - The correct holes are not drilled in the battery holder. A little drill fixed everything. The mounting bolts are too small for the holes and the extra washers fixed that. (Instead of cap screws, it should have pan head screws so the end batteries are flush with the battery case.) 3 - The battery…

As others have pointed out, this kit isn't exactly perfect. You will be given all the parts you need to build this robot, but no part of the build will be an easy task. I would not recommend this kit for those new to Arduino or electronics. Nothing will work right out of the box. Someone with a little experience can turn this set into a fun working robot. At least you get a lot of good parts for the price in this set. First I'll cover some of the build issues I've encountered. Arduino and motor
