Review: This was the first time I had ever purchased a kit like this and I wasn’t disappointed! What I liked: The instructions for building were clear and very well written. If they are followed to the letter the kit will work first time. When completed it’s a terrific kit. I do confess though for me I did manage to kill the servo control board after getting it to work. The only explanation I have is that it was probably an electrostatic discharge. In some ways I’m glad I did because it led me to get in contact with Freenove support. In the documentation they advise that they are there to help and indeed they do. The support and eventual diagnosis of my problem was second to none, they are awesome! Over a few days corresponding with their helpful and courteous staff, trying different options we sorted out my issue. I was able to purchase a replacement board for a very reasonable price. As yet I haven’t had time to swap the board but I have no doubt it will be fine. Just have to avoid the carpet.
Review: Everything worked perfect following the instructions, I am on Ubuntu 20.04 and bought the Raspberry Pi 4B. The support team of Freenove is simply amazing, very helpful and quick replies!

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Any thought to changing the batteries to 2s lipo packs(used for rc) with deans or xt30 connectors?  those batteries are easier and cheaper to get.**
A: 2S Lipo wouldn't work. Maybe 3S but need to regulate the voltage down to 7.4v

**Q: A photos indicates that additional parts are needed.  it is unclear if the spider shield, survos, camera, ultrasonic are included? i get needs pi+bat**
A: Dear customer,
You need to prepare your Raspberry Pi and memory card, and four 3.7v 18650 batteries
Other component kits include

**Q: What's the best raspberry pi board to use here given the goals of budget friendly but capable, and are the higher end boards "overkill"?**
A: I am using the Pi 4, with 4GB of RAM. Could use 2GB probably. A Pi 3 would work too.

**Q: Can a latte panda be used in place of raspberry pi?**
A: I don't believe so as the pi out for the motor control board that comes with the kit is specifically designed to fit with the pi

El producto llegó un día antes, al parecer todo, en buen estado, no lo he terminado de armar ni de probar, no sé si todo funciona, pero tiene muy buena calidad, en primera observación, hay que lo de armar y probar, es muy pronto para dar una opinión realista de este producto, pues lleva tiempo armarlo y realizar las configuraciónes de la raspberry pi, y subir los diferentes programas, y probar ya todo en su conjunto, pero al parecer tiene buena apariencia y espero que todo salga bien, Saludos
