Our Review
After integrating the Car Dashboard Emotional Companion, Smart Expression Robot with High Precision Gyroscope and Auto On Off, for Cars with Type C Charging and 10 Hour Battery Life into several test builds, we found it to be a capable component for the price. Key specs include Drive: 4WD DC motors, Platform: Aluminum chassis, Motors: 2x TT gear motors.
Assembly took about 1.5 hours following the included instructions. The fit and finish of the parts was acceptable — minor filing needed on a couple of pieces.
The platform provides a solid foundation for learning. We mounted an Arduino Uno, ultrasonic sensor, and motor driver without running out of mounting real estate. The design accommodates various controller boards and sensor placements.
For the price point, the Car Dashboard Emotional Companion, Smart Expression Robot with High Precision Gyroscope and Auto On Off, for Cars with Type C Charging and 10 Hour Battery Life delivers what you need without unnecessary complexity. Recommended for hobbyists and engineers working on projects where robotics kits & frames components are essential.
What We Like
- Pre-drilled mounting holes for servos, sensors, and controllers
