Robot Cars

Introduction & Overview

This is the Robot Car page, where we are listing all the Robot Cars, like DIY RoboCars (Donkey Car - http://www.donkeycar.com/) and Other Differential Drive Cars

Robot Cars

For the 2022-2023 school year, we are using our Robot platforms in the a few competitions. While there is a focus on the DIY Donkey Cars, this page will focus on all DIY R/C cars as well as our Differential drive robots.

The Robot Car platforms, are designed to solve the challenge of AI Machine learning navigation on a flat track. The object of the challenge is to build a car using a Raspberry Pi or Jetson Nano to train on the track and then autonomously drive it's self.

This page will also focus on controlling cars, both R/C 1/10 scale as well as a bunch of  Differential Drive Robots over a local wifi network.  This page will also show how to control Differential Drive cars using the same DIY donkey car controls, just with differential drive commands rather than servo commands (maybe it's just translating the servo command to differential drive steering instructions.)
