Build a LEGO® remote-controlled car

Use LEGO and the Raspberry Pi Build HAT to build a robot car, then program it so you can control it with a Bluetooth connection from your Android phone. Then add some LEDs to dazzle your friends

In this tutorial, you will build a wheeled car using LEGO components. Its movement will be determined by two separately driven wheels placed on either side of the car, allowing it to move forwards, backwards, and turn.
