You’re planting seeds for a lifetime of discovery and innovation.Īnd with that, on to the good stuff.

The idea was shamelessly stolen from sath02’s excellent ‘ible, attributed above. It’s an Arduino-controlled Lego RC car using XBee units for the “RC” part. Thanks to the video posted by the guys from ProLine we learned that several licensed crawler tires are are a perfect complement to the 56mmx34mm Lego Wheels.This is my first ‘ible.
