GalaxyRVR Mars Rover Kit, Smart Video Robot Car Kit Compatible with Arduino Uno R3 with ESP32 CAM for Real-Time FPV Visuals, R3 Board & Rechargeable Batteries Included

This is a very nice rover from Sunfounder. I've been looking for a "Mars-like" rover for some time and came across this unit. It has a solid design and performs well. Very good printed instructions and on-line assembly videos as well. If you're new to electronics, Sunfounder has very good tutorials to go along with the build process. If you're just looking to assemble and have fun playing, you can just do that but I encourage at least going through the online tutorials as they explain how all the systems work and how the programming that runs it all functions. It's beginner friendly. I would recommend this kit to anyone looking for a new gadget to have some fun with.

The construction of the GalaxyRVR Mars Rover is great - a very sturdy aluminum frame The written instructions for the assembly of the rover are well illustrated but the online assembly videos make assembling the rover very easy. When I received the rover it had one faulty IR obstacle avoidance sensor and one wiring harness that was wired incorrectly. I contacted SunFounder and worked with a great customer support representative. She initially provided troubleshooting hints for the IR sensor (potentiometer settings, etc.). When we determined that it was indeed a faulty sensor, she quickly shipped me a new IR sensor and a new wiring harness. She periodically updated the shipping status of the replacement harness and sensor via email. I definitely will give the customer service 5 stars. When the rover was completed it worked flawlessly. The online tutorials are a great way to learn more about the electronic components and the Arduino coding used by the rover.

I am an electronics engineer, and I spent a whole day trying to troubleshoot it. I was never able to connect it to the wifi, not its own hotspot, not my home wifi, and not with my phone hotspot. It's supposed to light up after setting it to run position and pressing the reset button. It never worked. I tried everything on their docs website, and the rover wouldn't budge.

Straightforward assembly instructions, easy to assemble, and performs as advertised. I have purchased four different robotic kits and this one is by far the best. Of the four kits two were SunFounder and they have the highest quality products, the clearest instructions, and excellent support.

Entretenido para ensamblar

I bought this kit as an adult and it was so much fun assembling and learning about Arduino. The manual containing assembly steps was clear and straight-forward. I LOVE the fact that, in additional to the assembly kit, they put together additional educational materials that you can read and follow, which explains what each component does and how it works. You can tell when they created this product, they put a lot of thoughts into not only creating an amazing physical kit, but also an educational product that encompasses much more than just the physical kit. I HIGHLY recommend this product.

Assembly is more complex than I wanted it to be. Its cool and fun once its setup but the assembly takes away from it

Great kit. Excellent design, great way to learn coding with a strong communal support group sure to supply plenty of ways to innovate. Easy to build, a great introduction to robotics for the whole family.
