Yahboom Professional Raspberry Pi AI Robot Kit with Camera DIY Tank

We’d mark this, Yahboom Robot Kit, up as quite an advanced kit and it requires that you buy a Raspberry PI as well as the kit if you don’t already own one.

Assuming that you do, this is going to help you learn how to operate a camera remotely, teach your robot to avoid collisions using ultrasonics, and to understand course tracking.

This does require a bit of an aptitude for programming.
