Robots... Robots... Robots... Everyone loves robots. Not a single person doesn't. Fact. They are awesome. And I'm going to teach you how to make your first one! That makes me awesome too!
Welcome to Episode 1 of my latest Raspberry Pi Robots series! In this video I will show you how to control a robot wirelessly from a different computer. By the end of this video you will understand a Python program and be able to make your Pi2Go-lite move! Watch the above for all of the details.
