Ottimo kit ma ancora migliorabile
Pregi:Kit interessante e ben confezionato, proposto al giusto prezzo (anche se il necessario Raspberry e' a parte e rappresenta una spesa non indifferente, specie se si sceglie, come e' consigliabile in caso si voglia successivamente lavorare sul software di bordo, un modello da 4 o 8 GB). Fornisce una piattaforma gia' ben attrezzata e che si presta a espansioni, aggiunte, modifiche.Documentazione curata, quasi senza errori e facilmente reperibile online.Montaggio non rapido ma, soprattutto prestando la dovuta attenzione a non perdere o mischiare le vitine, completabile in qualche ora.Difetti:Per caricare le batterie (due celle 18650 fornite) va usato un caricabatterie esterno (non fornito). Sarebbe stato piu' comodo prevedere una presa di ricarica a bordo del veicolo, ad esempio la classica USB.Non c'e' modo da software per conoscere il livello di carica delle batterie. Controllandolo da remoto e' quindi impossibile sapere quanta autonomia resta prima di perdere il collegamento.Il servo che gestisce la rotazione panoramica della "testa" puo' non avere spunto sufficiente per iniziare il movimento, soprattutto se si stringono troppo le viti del cuscinetto, ma anche allentandole non si ottiene grande vigore; il momento d'inerzia evidentemente e' un po' eccessivo e consiglierebbe un servo piu' robusto.La percezione degli ostacoli data dalla scansione ultrasuoni (con rotazione della "testa"), come mostrata dal grafico dell'interfaccia di controllo web, e' poco precisa: messo davanti al nulla puo' "vedere" ostacoli che non ci sono.I percorsi da far fare ai cablaggi (soprattutto quelli della "testa", con un delicato cavo piatto che rischia di rompersi presto per fatica) sono un po' lasciati alla fantasia di chi assembla il kit. La documentazione infatti si concentra sulle parti strutturali e non da' indicazioni su dove e come far passare i cavi.

Brilliant!
Mars Rover Picar-B - It's an amazing kit. I have had need to contact support twice and they answered my emails within a few hours. Be aware it is not a snap together remote car that will do cute tricks. The kit itself is of high quality and took me an afternoon to put together. Look on the Adeept for the PDF tutorial on how to put it together and also the video on YouTube - consulting them side by side helped me to put it together no problems. There are batteries for it on Amazon and you of course do need a Raspberry Pi to make it work - the Raspberry Pi 4 with Buster works fine. Now I have it installed and working the fun starts. I will do basic stuff "out of the box" but the idea is to learn to program in Python to make it do load more stuff. If you are after a learning project. 100% recommend

Interesting learning package
This is my second robotics kit from Adeept. And I really enjoyed assembling the PiCar-B. The tutorial is easy to follow and each step has some logic in it. That makes the process more intuitive. Not blind following the instructions, but active thinking. For example to add the connector lights, you must understand the technique behind it to assemble the wires correctly so everything fits in place. I want to mention one specific part of the process namely the placing of the pi-camera. The inventor used tiny nuts to prevent damage to the connector. The nuts are used to create a gap between the acryl plate and the printed circuit board. A really smart finding.The installation of the software was easy. After setting up the Raspberry Pi, it only requires to run an installation script. After that the PiCar-B could be control by a web based app. My nephew with the age of 5 had a lot of fun controlling/driving the PiCar. As a programmer, I liked the detailed pages in the tutorial about the libraries used to run this car with Python. Therefore this kit benefits a range of users with different ages and experiences. The following weeks I am going to find out how the line tracking sensor works from a technical part, and my nephew to control it by the app. For now I learned a lot.Keep up the good work Adeept!

Kept students on task
This has allowed me to elevate the subject I teach and really test the kids knowledge of IT.
