Build Your Own Remote Controlled Robot
Stop teaching your kids theory and start helping them build. From assembling the chassis to coding the remote, they’ll build a fully functional RC car from scratch.
The best part of my class is the robot car race! Students build their own wireless RC cars from scratch and then compete to see whose is the fastest. It’s loud, chaotic, and everyone has a huge smile on their face.
This is a peek under the hood of one of our custom-built remote control cars. You can see the Arduino Nano brain, the joystick controller, and the motors that make it all move. We teach kids how each part works together.
Here's a young student testing her first wired robot. The joy on her face when she moves the joystick and the robot responds is priceless. This is how we build confidence, one successful project at a time.
This video shows two different types of robots my students have built, one using Arduino and the other with LEGO. It’s a great example of how coding helps develop logical thinking and problem solving skills, no matter what tools you use.
A student made this cool red robot that can avoid obstacles on its own. It uses ultrasonic sensors for eyes and has an LCD screen to display messages. It’s a great project for learning about sensors and autonomous movement.
About Our First Robots: RC Cars & More
Your child won't just follow a manual here. They will work with Arduino Nano brains, wire up motor drivers, and learn to troubleshoot when a connection goes loose or the code refuses to compile. It is that exact moment of frustration, followed by the breakthrough when the car finally moves, that really builds their confidence.
We skip the boring lectures. In this bootcamp, your child gets hands-on with real engineering tools. They learn to assemble frames using screwdrivers, connect the drive system, and write the C++ code that tells the robot how to move.
The 'Build, Break, Repeat' Methodology
When a robot doesn't move on the first try, they don't give up. They check the wire connections, verify the code syntax, or adjust the battery pack. That is the ‘jugad’ mindset we encourage. It is how they learn to think like engineers.
What they will cover:
- Mechanical Skills: Assembling chassis, motors, and high-traction wheels.
- Coding & Firmware: Writing and uploading C++ code to interpret signals from the remote.
- Electronics: Working with Arduino Nano, L298N motor drivers, and wireless Bluetooth or NRF modules.
Everything is done at our Pitampura center with access to professional lab inventory. By the end of the sessions, they aren't just taking home a toy; they’re taking home a machine they built and programmed themselves. Classes are flexible, so you can even try a session to see if this is your child’s vibe.
