An Arduino robot car is still one of the best first robotics projects because every problem is visible: wiring, power, motor direction, sensor noise and code timing.

An Arduino robot car is still one of the best first robotics projects because every problem is visible: wiring, power, motor direction, sensor noise and code timing. The right parts list avoids the common reset-and-stall cycle.

Build the base first, then add one behavior at a time: remote control, obstacle avoidance, line following and encoder navigation.

Design variants

Obstacle car

Use front distance sensor and simple turn logic.

Line car

Use reflectance array and PID speed control.

FAQ

Uno or Nano?

Nano is smaller. Uno is easier on a bench. Both are fine.

What battery should I use?

Use a pack that can supply motor current and regulate logic separately.

What is the first upgrade?

Encoders, because they make movement measurable.
