Overview

ACEBOTT's QD001 ESP32 car with two of its expansion packs, the QD004 tank tracks and the QD007 5-DOF robot arm, so it can be built as a mecanum-wheel car, a tracked tank, or a tank that picks up and places small objects. It suits beginners aged about 12 and up who want an arm and a car in one kit, with block coding first and Arduino C later. The modular pack system is its main draw, since camera, solar, GPS and launcher packs fit the same base. Published hardware specs are thin, the arm is built from small hobby servos, and the batteries are extra.
