## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can this robot perform a zero point turn (similar to a tank) without significant lateral drift?**
A: Yes it can.  The robot must have 4 wheels.  By turning the wheels forward one side and backward on the other side simultaneously the robot will spin around

**Q: Can the motors handle 12v? If not, what are there maximum voltages?**
A: yes, I used 12 volts and it was fine

**Q: Is this kit compatible with raspberry pi zero?**
A: I made this robot and used a Raspberry Pi 3B+.  You need a separate regulated 5V power supply for the PI.  I used a portable cell phone charger brick.  I used 4 AA batteries to power the motors.  You also need a motor driver chip to distribute power and logic to the motors.  It should allow for at least 1 A current, if you want to use all 4 motors.  I used a TB6612FNG.

**Q: How thick is Acrylic Car chassis?**
A: the acrylic chassis is pretty strong and is somewhere between .125" to .25"

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very easy to assemble and use for arduino robot car project! Excellent customer service!
*by F***A on April 25, 2024*

I used this base kit to build an autonomous robot car using Arduino and motor controllers (separately purchased). Instructions for assembly are simple to follow. Motor wires do require soldering but is relatively easy. If this is your first soldering project - be sure to watch some excellent youtube videos before trying. You may have to swap motor wires to get the direction of rotation right.Overall an excellent DIY project for the beginner.Some tips for drilling holes in the acrylic base where needed to mount circuit boards or servos. I stuck blue painters tape on both sides of the base and marked the spot for the holes, used the smallest drill bit first and then gradually increased the size until I got to the needed size. I keep the drill at a low speed. and cleaned out the waste in between. Going too fast on the drill will cause too much heat and melt the acrylic. Holes came out smooth and clean! I was able to mount my circuit boards, servo, voltmeter and all necessary components on the kit acrylic base (all those components were separately purchased).Makerfocus provides excellent customer service above and beyond the usual call of duty. Very responsive! One of my motor holder retaining clips broke - I had overtightened the motor holder screws just a bit too much. Makefocus was kind enough to send me a replacement!All in all, I highly recommended this kit as a base for building robot car projects!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good robot chassis for STEM projects
*by R***O on March 13, 2021*

This robot kit was just what I was looking for. It was easy to assemble and will work for my student projects.I am showing a picture of the upgraded wheels that came with the kit.

### ⭐⭐⭐ Plexiglass protective covering is a challenge to remove to put it nicely
*by C***S on October 28, 2021*

I actually couldn't help but scratch the plastic and in some areas the covering could only be removed by scraping into the plastic. Pretty cool otherwise.
