A Tiny ESP32 Robot Built for Learning
Adafruit Blog
EDITOR BRIEF
Carl Bugeja created a palm-sized robot called ProtoBot for his son. After several design iterations, it uses a flexible printed circuit board to simplify assembly, cut wiring, and keep the robot compact. A build guide and open-source examples let users bring it to life and control it with a phone or automation.
INSIGHTS
This is a good beginner project because it combines hardware, wiring, and basic control ideas in one small build. A next step is to follow the build guide and try changing one behavior with the open-source examples.
