Robotics / Planned workshop

Tank

Build and control a tank with a 3D printed chassis. The planned workshop covers track-driven steering and a first-person-view (FPV) camera feed using an ESP32-S3-CAM style board. Test the camera feed alongside movement commands. The final camera module, chassis design, and kit contents remain TBD.

LEARNING TOPICS

Planned activities

  1. 01Control the drive motors to move and turn a tracked chassis.
  2. 02Connect and test the controller and drive electronics.
  3. 03Set up and test a first-person-view camera feed.

HARDWARE

Proposed components

Proposed electronics: ESP32-S3-CAM style camera board, two N20 geared motors, dual motor driver, flat LiPo battery, Dupont jumper wires, and JST power connectors. Printed chassis and tracks will be shown in future build photography. Final kit contents TBD.

Possible extensions

The planned project focuses on driving and FPV. Computer vision or on-device AI may be developed as a separate extension.

Experience requirements, supplied equipment, kit contents, and take-home arrangements TBD.

Project inspiration

Reference videos for the concept. The final Botspot build may differ.
