Dive into the thrilling world of FPV (First Person View) racing using LEGO SPIKE Prime and Robot Inventor! In this project, I built two pod racers: one with LEGO SPIKE Prime and one with LEGO MINDSTORMS Robot Inventor. I made them so that you can remote control them with a PlayStation gamepad or Xbox controller. Then I added cameras to the pods, and I let the cameras stream video over wifi to my smartphone. Finally, I put my smartphone in a DroneMask2 google for a full immersive experience!

Here’s the list of materials
- You can build a pod racer with either a LEGO SPIKE Prime kit or a Robot Inventor Kit.
- For the video streaming capability, an OpenMV Came H7 Plus with Wifi Shield or an OpenMV RT1060 with built-in wifi is essential.
- You’ll also need a spike-openmv board to supply the camera with power from the hub: antonsmindstorms.com/product/spike-smart-camera-breakout-board-spike-openmv
- A gamepad like Xbox Series X/S controller linked via Bluetooth.
- Optionally, if you’re using other types of game pads, an lms-esp32 module will be necessary: antonsmindstorms.com/product/wifi-python-esp32-board-for-mindstorms
- To view the live video feed, use a smartphone paired with DroneMask2 goggles for an immersive experience: dronemask.com/?aff=113
