Devastator - How to Start

Hi everyone,

My son is interested in the Devastator Tank Mobile Platform. I’ve never built any type of robot before, so looking for some help in getting started. I understand you can use Arduino for this type of project. Can someone please provide me with a suggested list of parts we would need to get this tank running? I was looking at getting the Arduino starter kit. Will I need anything else? A remote control? I’m so lost … ! If it helps, I live in Vancouver, Canada.

Thanks!

Hello @TrevorThomas,

Welcome to RobotShop community.

Here’s a tutorial to show you how to build this tank and test it with a simple code:

These are the parts you could use:



Unfortunately, we don’t have the needed Lipo battery so you can either get it from another place or you can use the other power option (5xAA batteries)

We also suggest that you check this other tank since it comes with all the parts you would need and easier to build and control:

Let us know if you need further assistance.

Sincerely,
