I started babysitting and saved up enough money to buy my first robot - the ELEGOO Robot Car Kit with UNO R3 Controller, which is compatible with Arduino IDE. I put the robot car together on my own after Christmas, and I am now in the process of learning how to program it.  Eventually, I want to teach/program it to use its wheels to make some cool paintings.

Check out the video of me building the ELEGOO Robot Car Kit V4! It was my first time building a robot and I had a blast doing it. Now I'm working on learning how to program it, which is a bit of a struggle because I have to adjust my code to fit the robot's movements and account for its sliding tendencies. But hey, it's a learning experience ;)

Here's a video showcasing how I utilized nested loops to make my robot car drive in an expanding square formation. First, I created a single loop to drive the car in a square pattern (moving straight for one second and then turning left, repeating the process four times). Then, I nested this loop inside another loop that increased the duration of each straight drive, resulting in three additional and progressively larger squares.

Once I've got a good grip on programming my ELEGOO Robot Car, I want to make it to create awesome paintings with its tires dipped in paint! It will require some experimentation and testing to figure out the best way to create the desired effect, but I'm not gonna give up until I make it happen. I'm really excited to see what kind of crazy designs and colors I can come up with. Watch out, world - here comes the robot artist!
