Toy RC Car Robot Development Platform - Part 1 - What, Where, and Why?
Channel: Junkbotix
Date: 26/11/2020

This is the first part of what will be series of videos showing you how to take low-cost, junk RC car toys, and turn them into a robotics platform to experiment and learn with!

In this video, I explore what kinds of toy RC vehicles to look for, where to find them, and why you need certain features for your platform. So come along with me on this exciting new series, and let's Keep Junkin'!

For those who prefer metric: 

1 foot = 12 inches 
12 inches = 304.8 millimetres

To convert:

Multiply inches by 25.4 for millimetres
Divide millimetres by 25.4 for inches
