🤖 12. Getting started with Robot Car

• Black Base Plates:

  • 🖤 These are the main structural components that make up the body or chassis of the robot.
  • 🔩 They are designed to have mounting points for other components. 

• Battery Holder & Batteries:

  • 🔋 The battery holder houses the batteries, providing electrical power for the robot’s function. 
• DC Motors with Yellow Gearboxes:
  • 🏎️ These motors drive the wheels, enabling the robot to move.
  • 💛 Yellow gearboxes provide torque and control the speed of rotation.
    

• Wheels:

  • 🚗 Attach to the motors to make the robot mobile, enabling it to roll across surfaces.
    

• Metal Brackets:

  • 🔗 Serve as connectors and mounting points for motors and other parts to the base plates.
    

• Screws and Nuts:

  • 🔩 Used to securely fasten components together, ensuring the robot’s stability.
    

• Servo Motor:

  • 🔄 A precise motor often used for steering or manipulating parts of the robot.
    

• Remote Control:

  • 🎮 Allows wireless control of the robot’s movements and actions.
    

• Jumper Wires:

  • 🌐 Used to make electrical connections between components like sensors and the main control board.
    

• Main Control Board (SmartRex RL-06):

  • 🧠 The robot’s “brain,” containing the microcontroller and circuits necessary for processing inputs and controlling the robot.

• USB Cable:

  • 🖥️ Used to connect the main control board to a computer for programming or charging.
    

• Ultrasonic Sensor:

  • 📏 Measures distance by emitting ultrasonic waves and detecting their reflection from objects.
    

• IR Line Sensor:

  • 🛤️ Detects lines on the ground, enabling the robot to follow a predetermined path.
    

• Screwdriver:

  • 🔧 Included for assembling parts, specifically for tightening and loosening screws.
    

• IR Receiver:

  • 📡 Receives signals from the remote control, enabling remote operation of the robot.
