Adeept robot car with Mecanum wheels - powered with a Pi Pico

I've looked at quite a few robot cars, but none of them have Mecanum wheels so they can drive sideways! Let's take a closer look!

This kit was kindly supplied by Adeept for review. If you are interested in checking it out in more detail then you can find more info via the following links:

I love your explanation sir, I can easily understand with information conveyed because your pronunciation very clear. Subscribed, and greetings from Bali

Thanks for sharing this video and information. I’m especially pleased that this robot is Pico based, however I plan to use a Pico W. Great that Adeept includes Download lessons and Code, Apps

Pretty nice little car, Wayne! Great review! 😃
I'm still going to get one of those! And I liked a lot the noise of those wheels! 😂
Stay safe there with your family! 🖖😊

With the huge number of lakes near you, im surprised we haven't seen boat stuff yet!
I was searching your area for somewhere to run my home built boat as there are Zero ponds in Salisbury or anywhere near here and i found something labeled on google maps as a boating pond but i cant remember where it was.

Still haven't run by boat, i bought a hull and reinforced it with carbon fiber and put in all metal hardware and a decent motor and it didnt even occur to me to see if there was anywhere to run it before i built it, im originally from London and there are ponds and lakes everywhere there, i assumed that being in the semi countryside there would be even more here but no, Salisbury has nothing at all!!

EDIT: ive just found it, you have a model boat pond on the common!!

Thanks for the review. Did you get any feedback from Adeept on your review comments? Has anything in the kit been updated and/or have they at least modified the instructions? What about the remote and/or app changes? If purchased today are you atill getting the kit that you got or is anything different? Would be good if they offered this with the Pico W so you had integrated Wifi & BT. Appreciate any feedback. Thanks.

Really appreciate the work that you put into these reviews, well done! This sounds like a work in progress for the manufacturers, and I am sure that your input will be very valuable to them. As a learning project, it would be a good investment, but if you just want to play with a robot car, would you think there are much better kits to buy than this?

Seems like it has potential but they didn't finish it. Good review.
