Ctrl-Drive is an open-source project aimed at building a robust, competition-ready RC car from scratch. Our project focuses on several key goals:
- Parts Adaptability: Our design emphasizes the use of readily available components, ensuring ease of access for builders.
- Learn Through Building: Dive deep into the realms of RC design, electronics, and fabrication by tackling challenges and solving problems.
- Robotics Competition Ready: Ctrl-Drive's features are tailored for high performance in robotics events, providing a competitive edge.
- Collaborative Community: Join our supportive community, where you can both contribute and learn alongside like-minded enthusiasts.
- Enthusiasm for robotics and problem-solving.
- Basic electronics and mechanical aptitude.
- Willingness to research and experiment.
- Design: Utilize Solidworks for mechanical design and KiCad for circuit board design.
- Microcontroller: Employ the ESP-32 microcontroller for control.
- Fabrication: Utilize 3D Printing (Creality Slicer) for fabricating parts.
