About this kit

Your first robotics build: assemble a 4-motor chassis and wire it to a DPDT-switch remote control box. No microcontroller and no coding involved -- just electronics fundamentals. You will learn how positive/negative wiring works and how double-pole switches control motor direction, building the wiring intuition every later stage depends on.

What you'll build

4 hands-on builds included with this kit

1
Switch-controlled LED
Wire a single LED and 1K resistor to the battery through one DPDT switch, to see how flipping it reverses current direction before you touch a motor.
2
Two-motor test rig
Wire both BO motors to their own switch on the breadboard and confirm each spins forward and backward on command.
3
Assembled chassis
Mount the motors, wheels, and caster wheel onto the bot chassis so it's ready to carry its own power source.
4
Complete remote-control car
Combine the wired switches into the handheld remote box and drive the finished car forward, backward, left, and right.

What's in the box

13 line items — check everything before you start building

Bot chassis
The frame every other part mounts to.
1
Wheels
Fit directly onto the drive motor shafts.
2
Caster wheel
A free-spinning third wheel that balances the chassis without needing its own motor.
1
DPDT switch
Flipping this double-pole switch reverses current through a motor, making it spin backward.
2
DPDT remote box
Houses the switches so the car can be driven by hand from a distance.
1
BO motor
Geared DC motors that turn the wheels.
4
Breadboard
A solderless board for testing the wiring before it's final.
1
8-core wire
Multi-strand cable carrying power between the remote box and the chassis.
1.5 m
AA battery holder
Holds the 4 AA cells that power the circuit.
1
AA batteries
The kit's power source.
4
LED
Used in the practice circuit to visualise current flow before wiring a motor.
8
1K resistor
Limits current to the LEDs so they don't burn out.
4
Screws, tape & zip ties
Mounting hardware for the chassis and tidying the wiring.
