It’s been a while since I started this project (and finished it), but it wasn’t until now I took the time to put the footage and some comments together :slight_smile:

The basic idea layout I started with: USB gamepad > laptop (Linux) > WiFi > WRT54GS (router) > SSC-32 > car
And as time went I added a few more ideas

Here’s the bash code on the computer side if anyone is interested:

And the startup scripts code for the router:
ncstart

#!/bin/sh while true; do nc -l 313 > /dev/tts/1 done
setstty

#!/bin/sh stty -F /dev/tts/1 115200 min 0 time 0 ignbrk icrnl -opost -isig -icanon -iexten -echo noflsh

It looks like the humans are getting ready for the hobby robot invasion :wink:
Nicely done - the extra two wheels give it a very unique and “mean” look.

Thank you. The extra wheel/shock pair also helps with the weight and movement. Also the added length of the body made the placement of electronic parts easier.
