I Built a Mini Mars Rover

An educational platform built with new Raspberry Pi Pico W, Open Robotic Platform chassis, Omni wheels and FPV camera. Both the robot and server script programmed in Python.

having all the machines around the corner and being able to make everything on your own is such priceless

The fact that you can build something like this is less impresive than the fact that you have a Pi to put into it.

This is such a great project! And I completely forgot I can use my old 3080 to make PCBs. I need to try that. Inspirational as usual, Nik. Thanks and keep up the great work!

This is an awesome project. I love the grit, attention to neatness, and aesthetics of your work. You have a great collection of equipment, any maker would love to have.

He's alive!! I'm so glad that you had such a rewarding experience in Belgium-- what an awesome opportunity! Welcome back. Great rover project! I'm always impressed with your drive and determination. Keep up the great work!

[mrsandmanking]

Sweet! With a lot of your projects I have had similar ideas its weird to be wired so alike. Keep up with the grind!

"The Bartnikator" strikes again with a nice robot... Thumbs and toes up Nikodemus

[Eswarramesh]

as an aspiring engineer, you are a huge inspiration to me. Thank you for this wonderful video

[VeerDaVlog]

You are very good at improving product design and finishing.

I'm working on my first Robotics project with very limited previous knowledge, I am a current Mechanical Engineering student with a few quarters to go, to see your level of skill and hands on experience is quite Humanizing, I hope to one day be as Phenomenal of an Engineer as You, thanks for the AWESOME VIDEOS! I will keep watching and I will keep working hard !

[anguschiu]

Awesome! I just bought a Pico W and think to build something using mecanum wheels and you've made it successfully!

[iamabdirazak]

Thanks for sharing your amazing project!

[analizaestorba]

in my dreams... really nice work station you have.

Great project! 👏 You could consider using motion smoothing within Arduino for the servos on the robot arm, it would be a lot more controllable 😃

[andreumas]

Very cool project and incredible video!! Congratulations 👏 keep it up 💪

[grisvianbrudlie]

Although more expensive, you can improve the range and image quality by using the DJI digital fpv system It does cost significantly more but you can use the serial bus pad on the Air Unit to control the servos, it is possible. Overall great rover, would love for a part 2

[erikschmidt]

Absolutely incredible! Would love to see (Micro)Python and fusion 360 tutorials!

[sajalchuttani]

You can definitely try inproving the arm movement by adding some motion dampening and interpolation

[taylor-wo]

Wow, this was truly inspiring and cool to watch you make!! 😍 Thanks so much for showing this and I wish you best of luck!!

Great project. It would be much easier to control robot arm if you try implement invers kinematics.
