In this episode, Milos scavenges parts from a broken robot vacuum to build a custom Wi-Fi controlled robot platform. By repurposing motors, encoders, and a swivel wheel, he creates the Platypus Bot—a budget-friendly robot inspired by the TurtleBot3. Using 3D-printed parts, common hardware, and a drill battery for power, Milos walks through the design, assembly, and programming stages, including joystick control via UDP. Perfect for makers looking to save money and build from what they already have! bit.ly/3Ghoumz
