There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
It is possible that a young teen could build this car on his/her own, but what I found was that there was much student enjoyment when the student was explaining to me how each step of the journey was accomplished.
So have some fun. Once you run the programs that are supplied to test the sensors and the car’s motion, you will want to try to write your own Python code from scratch. That is our next challenge.
- The quality of the product is good.
- Pieces go together well.
- All parts are in-place.
- All electronic pieces are working well.
Shipping:
- Shipping was quick and packaging was good.
Handling:
This is NOT a project for beginner or a child. This car is not to be played in the manner kids expect to play with
remote control cars. This is NOT remote control car. Don't get me wrong, this car is controlled, by you from your Android app or computer because it is a full blown computer on wheels so it is connected to your WiFi.
Kids should not drag this car around by hands or bump it in any way - car is bare naked computer with unprocessed fancy sensors attached to it. So should be handled with care.
Skills:
You should very comfortable very with computers and computer hardware parts. Troubleshooting experience will come handy and especially with Linux operating system - you must be comfortable with Linux terminal and various commands.
Medium level Python programming skills will make this project easier. Sometimes you have to use common sense when connecting wires (for example camera wire) as photo on instructions are not precise sometime. However the manual is well made and covers A LOT OF STUFF, so if you are patient - you will get there and will still have some remaining hear you haven't manage to pull yet.
Issues:
The only issue I discovered is that wheels spin in reverse direction so when you press forward they go backwards and left and right are also reversed. This makes many things unusable. I wrote email to their tech support and got response in about two day - which I find very reasonable. First one to swap cables on the motor (which would require soldering iron) and another one is to make changes to the Python code in Motor.py and "-" in from of four "(dutyX)" lines. Despite the fact that updating was was way easier, I chose to swap wires for fun - haven't soldered anything in years.
Other than that everything worked perfectly.
MUST HAVE:
Car needs two 18650 batteries. My recommendation is to buy 4-pack and a charger. These batteries power up a computer (RaspberryPi) with additional board, four powerful motors, many sensors, LED light, buzzer and camera. If you use the car actively the batteries will drain in about 2 hours which is not bad - so having a spare back will definitely help.
FINAL NOTE:
This is a great car and you can do anything with it. Great for learning programming and machine learning (ML). You could learn and apply all modern technologies and build amazing project. I am looking forward to updating the server part and train the car to learn various algorithm such as Reinforcement Learning.
This car can to the same thing Amazon DeepRacer does because you can apply all the same technologies but Amazon DeepRacer is about $399 so I could not justify this as I can do the same thing on this car.
ENJOY!
For some time I've been looking for a kit that teaches how to integrate the Rpi and robotic hardware. This kit does all that and more.
First a heads up - this is an engineering learning kit. It teaches the builder how to assemble a robot from lots of pieces, how to connect wiring between the Rpi and robot, how to write software for the Rpi that explains how to control things like the camera, ultrasonic sensor, drive motors and more. It also explains how to bring up a Rpi and how to log in remotely from a PC. Simply put, this kit is amazing. I also want to put in a plug for one of the most helpful books for learning about the Rpi and Linux - it is 'Exploring Raspberry Pi" by Derek Malloy https://read.amazon.com/kp/embed?asin=B01H2KNGX8&preview=newtab&linkCode=kpe&ref_=cm_sw_r_kb_dp_V5obGb6X7CV0Q
Here is an overview of what this kit has to offer:
1. You build a fully functioning 4wd car from the pieces supplied in the kit. The instruction manual is well written and explains 90% of what you need to know. If you don't have any experience building things, then I suggest getting help.
2. You learn how to test each function of the robot one at a time - this is really helpful because you learn what each sensor does and the software used on the Rpi to talk to it. This is really great because the python code for each sensor is explained so that you can modify it to learn more about how the software and sensors work. All software is provided and simply works. Impressive
3. You learn about the Rpi and how to log in remotely - this is a key aspect of running this little computer and it helps you understand just how amazing the Rpi really is.
4. The final part of the project is to fire up an app that gives you control over the robot and lets you drive it around, stream video, change the LED's and more. The app is either an iPhone or android app that you can download from the app stores or you can also run a Windows or Mac app.
CONCLUSION:
Simply put, this is a really great project. It is not a toy, but a intermediate robotics kit designed to introduce you to the world of robotics, computers and the Rpi. As someone who designs electronics for a living, this is one of the best kits I have seen. Highly recommended.
Top reviews from other countries

I was very keen to build this and try it out, so I downloaded the code and set up my Raspberry Pi, shortly after placing my order. Fortunately, I already had a couple of 18650 batteries. So, when the kit arrived the next day, I was good to go. Assembly took about 2 hours.
First point to note is that I have big fingers and some of the screws are really tiny – I needed fine tweezers for these.
Second point, when assembling the pan and tilt ‘head’, the instructions tell you to plug in the servos and run servo.py to put them in the correct position before assembly. I would recommend carrying out steps 1 to 9 of the 11 illustrated steps (page 51 at time of writing) before connecting the servos.
I would also suggest connecting the cables to the camera and ultrasonic units before connecting the ‘face’ to the ‘neck’ as they are lot more accessible at this point.
Excepting a couple of fiddly bits, the kit was straight forward to assemble, I ran all the test modules and everything worked first time, except it went backwards instead of forwards – but the instructions covered correcting this. It does everything shown in the Freenove video and can also be controlled directly by a phone app (android in my case). I was impressed by the quality of the build and also that all the code is open source.
At the price, having a kit you can control from your phone, pretty much out of the box, is already good value, but the potential for writing your own code is even more appealing and I would imagine would be a great incentive for novice coders. I hope a community will develop where people can share their code and ideas. I also think the kit is ideal for further development – a robot arm would be a cool addition, perhaps Freenove may develop expansion kits in the future.
In summary, a great kit, a great learning tool and best of all – open source!

All the information regarding software installation is there but not always easy to find. Freenove technical support is excellent. The best I've ever come across.
The batteries are extremely difficult to remove and you have to hold the car upside down in one hand and try to extract batteries with the other. Incredibly poor battery compartment design worst I've seen.
I finished assembling mine for my grandson and had used the android app to make it do everything the video shows (except for face recognition which requires it to be run from Client)
Was just about to take it to my grandson's house when I switched it on for a last check. It died. Wouldn't turn on. Ran the pi from its own power supply to check and it was ok. Something in the board had failed.
Amazon have been great and have taken it back and refunded me but a lot of time and effort gone to waste and a very disappointed grandson to explain things to. I think he and his parents would have struggled with trying to swap the batteries every couple of hours.
But customer support at both Freenove and Amazon were excellent.


When first building the car I used a couple of batteries that I had lying around. The advice from Freenove is to use batteries that can sustain a high discharge rate. This is good advice. Using poor quality batteries results in the low battery warning buzzer sounding after only a fairly short use. Good batteries cure the problem! One point is that you need to remove the batteries to charge them. I found that making loops out of cable ties makes the process of removal much simpler but anything thick might interfere with the battery fitting properly.
The kit is quick to assemble since much of the building is securing parts to the baseboard which contains the control components. The instructions are generally very good but can be a bit repetitive, e.g. VNC player and the assembly of the pan/tilt module which is covered twice. Best to read the instructions before you start so you know which bits to pay attention to and go straight to VNC viewer if you can.
The car is a genuine four-wheel drive which means that each wheel can be controlled separately. This allows the car to be steered by having wheels go at different speeds (compared to rotating the wheels). On soft carpets the grip of the tyres is not as good so the steering is not as precise.
Freenove emphasise the support they give, encouraging you to ask for help. When I first put the kit together, I could not get the buzzer to work nor the ultrasonic ranging. They are based in China so the reply came back on the following morning. It started off "Thank you for choosing Freenove. We are fully responsible for any concerns." which is a clear indication that they will do their best to sort out any problems that you have. My problem turned out to be that when I fitted the bridge between the pi and the baseboard, I had managed to bend three of the connectors to the side of the plug so they did not connect. Re-fitted and all was well.
If you are anything like me you look at other kits after you buy one. There are a surprising number of car kits out there. Some have more features than this one, but are more expensive. Some have a sturdier sturdy chassis, but are more expensive. Some kits are cheaper, but do less. One of the significant differences between kits is whether the wheels are fixed or whether they turn to steer. On this kit they are fixed but Freenove do have another kit with steerable wheels.
I came to the 5 star rating by weighing up price, features and support.
The amazon review site seems a bit weird asking for ratings on Thickness and Sheerness. Perhaps artificial intelligence is not as intelligent as one might hope!

The instructions are pretty good and take you step by step in setting up the raspberry with different libraries , although for what ever reason I had to do this step twice. The build quality of the car is good and a joy to build.
Once I finished the build and programmed the car, I found the car went the opposite way to the way it should go, but it is quite easy to change the code (reversing the number to or from -ve). To drive the car remotely, I found I had to use a keyboard and monitor to set the program going and not vnc.
The remote control is good, to be able to drive the car while it is out of sight and see where it is going on your phone is cool, although it can loose connection and do it's own thing. Camera is a bit jerky when moving.
This is a great educational toy and worth the £60
