How Basic Can It Get? | Robotic Car

🚗🤖 Do you want to learn how to make a cool robotic car from cardboard and some simple tools? Then this video is for you! In this DIY craft tutorial and lesson idea for teachers, I will show you how to build an easy robotic car that can move and steer using only scissors, screwdriver, nuts and bolts and rubber band.
Plan and micro:bit code: cardboard.lofi...
LOFI Control Micro:Bit app: cardboard.lofi...
Building tips: cardboard.lofi...
Electronics tips: cardboard.lofi...
The electronics used is BBC Micro:Bit and two micro servo motors. This project is designed with simplicity and accessibility in mind, perfect for students 10-15 years old who want to explore robotics and STEAM concepts. You will learn how to cut and assemble the cardboard parts and how to connect the servo motors to the Micro:Bit. So grab your materials and let’s get started!
Parts list:
- one layer cardboard (easier to cut than two layers)
- BBC Micro:Bit
- Elecfreaks RingBit v2 adapter
- 2 x micro servo 360 degrees (3,3V compatible)
- paper clip
- M3 nuts and bolts (12mm long)
- rubber bands
Tools:
- scissors
- ruler
- pen

Check out our new web-app to control any Micro:Bit robot via bluetooth. You can find the LOFI Control Micro:Bit app here: cardboard.lofirobot.com/microbit-control-app-info/ Control you robot with onscreen gamepad on touchscreen or keyboard arrow keys on desktop. It is a Progressive Web App so you can use it in the browser or install on your device. The app works with: - Windows and MacOS laptops in Chrome - Android - Chromebooks

A battle bot series would be cool. Like mini cardboard robot wars

love the vids

[@portillajoe]

This is amazing!

[@allentsui7683]

This is so brilliant! I've been looking for a project exactly like this since 2016! And at last I've found it! Thank you for sharing. Will be trying this out at my school from September 2024 and will make videos to show you how we get on.

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

Thanks. Teachers feedback is really priceless for me!

Hey Mrs cardboard robots i already have the micro:bit😁😎🤑

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

Use it!

[@CharbelAbs]

​@@CARDBOARD_ROBOTScan you help me code it so that there's a second micro:bit on top and it will detect the sun and if not in sun will move into an outwards spiral until it's in the sun again

[@TracyAdkins-jp5wo]

I just love this! Can this be coded using Make Code? Where can I find the coding tutorials?

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

Hey Tracy. I am working on this app to communicate with MB via bluetooth. If you have more microbits on hang it is very easy to make one a wireless controller over radio to another microbit. Anyway Coding tutorials comming next month.

[@ascensiondiaz9390]

Great projects!!!! It is too funny.

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

Coding tutorials ate comming soon (next month) by now if you plan to use microbit search for some documentation how to control servo motors with this board

[@michaelcarroll4832]

Excellent! What IOS APP are you using to control the robot? Is it a free APP? Thx Mike

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

Hey Michael. It is actually a web app I am developing. It is online at lofi-apps.web.app/ It works on desktop (Chrome) and Android. It wont work on iOS however as it still does not support web-bluetooth. To connect you have to upload this firmware to micro:bit: www.lofirobot.com/files/lofi_firmware.hex But please note that it is work in progress. The controller works good enough on desktop (you can use arrow keys on keyboard). But on mobile it gets huge lag, don`t know why.

To connect to microbit click robot icon in the upper right corner

[@gunzi2269]

Great projects! Thank you 👍🏻 Because I want to build this robot with my students (13 years), I would like to know if the code has to be written in Python. I think it would be nice to see how to code otherwise it‘s „just“ the building process.

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

Hey Gunzi. I am working on coding tutorials for all of the robots. Do you plan to do it with micro:bit or maybe some other microcontroller?

[@gunzi2269]

@@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS I want to do it with micro:bit. At the moment we have only V1, but I plan to buy V2 asap

This is great, Can I buy kits in the US?

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

Not yet :-/

[@lylewilliams7716]

Line following?

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

No, purpose of this design is to be the simpliest vehicle possible. Also this microbit adapter has only three ports, only one left for sensor so notbenough for regular line follower.

[@drawing-ology]

3:59 what is this...? Please tell

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

It is a BBC Micro:Bit board with a Elekfreaks Ring:Bit v2 adapter

[@drawing-ology]

@@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS thanks I wasn't able to find that one in india but I an using Arduino adapter... is it fine ? Should I progress?

[@CARDBOARD_ROBOTS]

Of course. Any microcontroller that can drive a servo will do. You would only have to modify the car dimensions to fit the Arduino.
