Converting A Toy RC Car Into An Autonomous Fun Car The Indian Way


Dangerous is a mind which is left grounded at home for days. Being stuck at home and having a few pieces of joy around made me do this over the weekend.

Ingredients:

  • An old Toy RC car broken out of shape by my 4 year old

  • DAGU Mini Driver

  • Screw Driver/Batteries/Tape/Glue/Rubber bands/Old gift cards

  • Half an hour of coding

Output:

A car that runs automatically making 8 shape on the floor (More like random fractals due to the wheels having no grip)

New mainboard or in Indian speak - JUGAAD
