ChasisChasis is a frame which is used to connect the internal parts
like motor, tyres etc.
Fun Do Labs2
TyresTyres are used for moving the car
Fun Do Labs2
BatteryBattery is used to power the circuit
Fun Do Labs2
Geared MotorGeared motor is used for moving the tyres
Fun Do Labs2
Dummy MotorDummy motor can be attached to tyres
Fun Do Labs2
Motor Shield (L293D)Motor shield is used for controlling the speed and direction of the motors
Fun Do Labs2
ArduinoArduino is an open source electronics platform to develop electronic
prototypes & products
