Review: Fun for children and adults - This project was done by an adult to learn the basic ways boards, sensors and chips to build art works. Well made and has some weight to it. Great hands on project. Children will love the project and learn how to add to it. My next step will be adding cameras. I bought the project for the board and for $20 more I got a full kit.
Review: I'm really impressed! - I bought this kit for my grandson for Christmas. We just built it today. I have to say I am really, really impressed with the quality of the design and the components. Everything went together very easily, and the directions were top notch. It turned on and performed well! This is an excellent kit, with lots of possibilities. The technology available today never ceases to amaze me (I've built about two dozen Arduino projects from scratch over the last few years, but this kit is really good). I haven't even tried the remote control functions with a phone yet. Well done Elegoo!

## Features

- Tumbller is a newly design for Arduino project of robotic car kit which has multiple fascinating functions like auto-follow, obstacle avoidance, bouncing mode and glowing in different LED colors and also you can control it with your mobile phone using our new ElegooKit APP.
- Tumbller comes with a well-designed tutorial with illustrations, which shows you how to assemble the kit step by step and how to play with all the interesting functions.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you add a camera to the vehicle once completed?**
A: Should not be a problem to add a camera :-)

**Q: where can i download the software? It does not seem to be on their website.**
A: Go here:
https://www.elegoo.com/download/
and click on the "Elegoo Smart Robot Car Kit V3.0" picture. Then the download will start. Be sure to follow the instructions in the download on how to bring in the zip library for the IR remote control. Also, make sure you disconnect the Bluetooth module when you are uploading programs to the robot. It causes problems when it is connected.

**Q: I am considering this for my son. What type of computer/laptop would work best for programming with this?**
A: The software isn't hefty at all. It's just C coding. You'll be fine with any new standard (even entry level) PC, or one that was made in the last 10 years for that matter. Between home and work, I've programmed an Arduino on Windows XP, 7, and 10 with no problems. Make sure you have an internet connection to download libraries, USB to connect the board, and one of the above operating systems and you'll be rolling!

**Q: specifically what type batteries are in the battery box?  I know it is 5v, is it lipo?  two 18650 with a voltage converter?  I want to add to them?**
A: ICR18650  2200 mAh 3.7v  8.14 wh
