The directions were clear, straightforward, and very easy to follow β€” at no point did we get stuck or confused during assembly. There are many small components included, and while some pieces come with spares and others do not, everything was well organized and fit together smoothly. The build process was actually part of the fun and made it a great hands-on learning experience. Once assembled, the robot performs really well. The controls are responsive whether using the remote or the mobile app, and both options work reliably. Watching it drive around and avoid obstacles is incredibly satisfying! Overall, this is a fun, well-designed kit that’s perfect for beginners and a great educational project for kids and adults alike. Highly recommended! Review: Easy to assemble & excellent documentation! Great science fair type of project. - I've assembled several robot kits like these but this has got to be the best so far hands-down. Everything about this project is well done from the packaging (components are well labeled in separate boxes & baggies) to the documentation (printed and download). I was able to follow the included printed assembly manual and put the robot together in about an hour. Elegoo has even included three small tools so you won't need to use any of your own unless that's your preference. The included Uno clone is preprogrammed with all of the necessary functionality so all you've got to do is power it on and choose the desired function via the IR remote. You can also download an iOS or Android companion app to control the robot via bluetooth although that's not something I've tried yet so I can't comment on how well it works. Of course, the Arduino software is available from Elegoo's website if you want to experiment with uploading your own sketches. I downloaded the surprisingly large zip file for this product (1 GB) and briefly browsed the multilingual contents. They've done a good job with this documentation as well! The Arduino source code is included by various build/functionality stages and PDFs are included that explain everything in that particular stage. This little car really zips along, too! I haven't tested the line-following function but the obstacle avoidance function works pretty well. It can get stuck in this mode if the car approaches an object at a shallow enough angle which doesn't trigger the ultrasonic distance sensor but waving your hand (or foot) in front of it does the job. Manual drive mode works very well using the included IR remote. TL;DR: Quality of the electronics is fair, hardware is excellent & solid, documentation is really excellent for non-native English speakers. It is actually a bargain for all of the components you get and how well the fit & finish is. My only gripe is how easily fingerprints and dust show up on the piano black acrylic body pieces. That's a minor annoyance, IMHO. If you're on the fence about buying this, you shouldn't be. It's honestly a great robotics project that gives you more than you'd expect for the price. I'll update this review if I encounter any problems but, so far, it's worked well! ## Features - BUILD, CODE & DRIVE YOUR OWN ROBOT CAR: Turn coding, electronics and engineering into a working programmable robot car you can assemble, program and drive; ideal for weekend family projects, STEM classrooms, coding clubs, robotics lessons and maker challenges - EXPLORE FPV, LINE TRACKING & OBSTACLE AVOIDANCE: Control the robot with the ELEGOO app or IR remote, view live FPV video through the onboard camera, follow black lines, avoid obstacles with the ultrasonic sensor and explore multiple interactive driving modes - BEGINNER-FRIENDLY BUILD WITH GUIDED WIRING: Keyed XH2.54 connectors help reduce wiring mistakes, while the illustrated tutorial and example programs guide beginners step by step from chassis assembly and module connection to programming and the first successful run - GO BEYOND ASSEMBLY WITH CREATIVE CODING: Program with Arduino IDE to explore movement, sensors and control logic, then modify example code to create custom routes, reactions and robotics experiments that develop coding, problem-solving and engineering skills - COMPLETE RECHARGEABLE STEM ROBOTICS KIT: Includes an ELEGOO UNO R3 controller board, ESP32-WROVER-based camera and Wi-Fi module, line-tracking and ultrasonic sensors, motors, IR remote and a 2000 mAh rechargeable lithium-ion battery; recommended for ages 8+ with adult guidance for first-time builders ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07KPZ8RSZ | | Age Range Description | Kid | | Battery Description | Lithium-Ion | | Best Sellers Rank | #7,513 in Toys & Games ( See Top 100 in Toys & Games ) #71 in Educational Science Kits | | Brand Name | ELEGOO | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 4,467 Reviews | | Educational Objective | Robotics Knowledge, Programming Skills, Electronics Assembling, STEM Education | | Item Dimensions | 8 x 7 x 6 inches | | Item Type Name | STEM car | | Item Weight | 1.23 kg | | Manufacturer | ELEGOO | | Manufacturer Maximum Age (MONTHS) | 1200 | | Manufacturer Minimum Age (MONTHS) | 145 | | Manufacturer Part Number | US-EL-KIT-012 | | Manufacturer Warranty Description | Half year | | Material Type | Acrylic, Plastic | | Model Number | US-EL-KIT-012 | | Number of Items | 1 | | Set Name | ELEGOO UNO R3 Smart Robot Car Kit V4 | | Size | 7 x 8 x 6 inches | | Sub Brand | Sonic the Hedgehog | | Theme | Car, Electronics, Engineering, Robotics | | Unit Count | 1 Count | ## Images ![ELEGOO UNO R3 Smart Robot Car Kit V4 with Camera, Compatible with Arduino | FPV Video, Line Tracking, Obstacle Avoidance, Auto Follow, App & IR Control, Class STEM Building & Coding Kit, Gift for 12+ - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81TO73-VN6L.jpg) ## 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 ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Educational Robot Kit – Fun and Easy Build! *by J***N on December 26, 2025* We had a fantastic experience building the ELEGOO robot car kit.

I bought this for my 9 year old son as a gift for the holidays. This was my attempt to give him gifts would peak his interest enough to get him away from all the games and electric devices and this did the trick. At first when I first opened it I wondered if it was to much for him to assemble but boy was I worng. He enjoyed every moment of it and has not stopped using it. Its so much fun that everyone in the house is enjoying it. It was designed and packaged so well and the instuctions were very easy to follow. Love the care they took and the packaging was neat and well organized. In its default state its packed with features but the intro to Arduino IDE increases its value immensely making it possible to add more components, features and functionality. This has already paid for itself times over and its value for money is undeniable!! ## Frequently Bought Together - ELEGOO UNO R3 Smart Robot Car Kit V4 for Arduino Robotics for Kids Ages 8-12 12-16 STEM Science Kits Coding Gifts for 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Year Old Boys Girls Teens Cool Engineering Building Toys - ELEGOO UNO Project Super Starter Kit with Tutorial and UNO R3 Board Compatible with Arduino IDE - ELEGOO Upgraded 37 in 1 Sensor Modules Kit with Tutorial Compatible with Arduino IDE UNO R3 MEGA Nano --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.nz/products/90114336-elegoo-uno-r3-smart-robot-car-kit-v4-with-camera](https://www.desertcart.nz/products/90114336-elegoo-uno-r3-smart-robot-car-kit-v4-with-camera) --- *Product available on Desertcart New Zealand* *Store origin: NZ* *Last updated: 2026-08-22*
