DODGE is a novel design of a tripod which is powered by an ESP32 Cam module. The third leg (support leg) of the tripod is positioned in the middle which allows support when positioning the legs when moving. It can also rotate 360 degrees owing to the servo based at the bottom of the support leg. The robot has six servos in total and allows for a range of motions given the fact that the ESP32 Cam module has limited GPIO pins available when the camera on the module is in use. DODGE as the name implies moves sideways and also can move vertically up and down.

Do you want to get started with ESP8266? Then, read this post to figure out the best ESP8266 Wi-Fi Development Board for your project requirements.
The ESP8266 is a $4 (up to $10) Wi-Fi module. It allows you to control inputs and outputs as you would do with an Arduino, but it comes with Wi-Fi.
There’s a new board called ESP32, so you might like reading Best ESP32 Development Boards.
Comparing the ESP with other Wi-Fi solutions on the market, it is a great option for most “Internet of Things” projects! It’s easy to see why it’s so popular: it only costs a few dollars and can be integrated into advanced projects. Additionally, it is compatible with Arduino IDE. So, if you’ve worked with Arduino before, you’ll easily get used to working with the ESP8266.
