FIVE STARS! - An impressive work combining different solutions to real-world problems! The Smart Car has features like: Ultrasonic Range finder for collision avoidance and semi-autonomous navigation; Optical sensors for line following navigation; Bluetooth connection for remote control operation; and an Infrared Remote Control. All these modes of operations work flawlessly except the IR sensor. In my opinion, this is not Elegoo’s fault. However, the engineers at Elegoo could have evaluated the performance of the IR sensor and could have removed it from the kit as the Bluetooth function is enough for manual control. IR remote control operates in the infrared range just below the red end of the visible spectrum. It works in a line-of-sight that will easily be obstructed by nearby objects. It also suffers from interference from other IR devices in the vicinity. For these reasons, IR is not a good device for non-stationary devices. Likewise, the built-in IR works intermittently while the Smart Car is in motion. Elegoo has also provided a smartphone app for both Android and IOS platforms. You can also create your own “DIY Control” remote app, which I like it so much that you have the freedom to program the remote control that suits your need. Overall, I gave this Smart Car a five-star rating. It is a great kit for DIY projects and also for Smart Car base code development exercises. All you need is to assemble the kit, download the Arduino sketches from the Elegoo's website, and use the Elegoo App to control the Smart Car. Most importantly. Have fun with modifying the codes and eventually develop your own code. So far, I have modified the carSpeed and ultrasonic range to suit my interest. I have also added RGB status indicator light, and I have also added a second infrared sensor. Most of the Arduino GPIO pins are occupied but there are few open pins like A0, A1, A2, and A3. So, I have used A0-A2 for the RGB LED light and pin A3 for the second IR sensor. FYI, the built-in IR sensor is connected to PIN 12 so you can change it to A3 on the Arduino sketch and connect a new IR sensor to PIN A3. I am also working on adding a piezo speaker; however, the Smart Car is using both the timers of Arduino UNO and I need Timer2– for functions like tone(), notone(). So, I might probably change the Arduino UNO with Arduino MEGA and add more features to the Smart Car. In conclusion, the Elegoo Smart Car is an excellent engineering toy for all levels. Have fun and try to modify the codes and the hardware to match your own needs. FIVE STARS! Review: This is an excellent kit for an introduction to robotics and Arduino - I bought this kit to build and learn with my 10 year old daughter. She was working on a "Robotics" science fair project for her elementary school. We spent several evenings building & programming the robot car together and had a great time, we learned a ton! In addition to her project research she used the robot car as an example of what a robot is and what the components of a robot are. This kit is very well made with all components neatly and safely packaged. The included PDF files for assembly, construction and programming are very well written and illustrated. There are multiple provided Arduino programs to highlight the use of one or any of the included sensors provided with the kit. the construction was simple and fun with no required soldering. The kit includes a custom UNO shield which is used to aggregate all of the wiring for the sensors and motor control signals, very slick and easy to follow. In our own rush to get the project together on time, we choose to utilize one of the ready-made programs which makes the car drive along and track a black line of electrical tape on the floor. This worked great and was a major hit at the non-competitive science fair. However the kit also provides detail which allows the hobbyist to continue their exploration and customize the programs which serve as a starter for endless fun and learning. I am an Electronic Engineer and Computer Scientist who has studied Electronics , Computer Science and Robotics for nearly 30 years. I am also a hobbyist who enjoys toying with Arduino / Pi and other electronic hobbyist items. This kit is great for a beginner to learn the basics of robotics and electronic / mechanical engineering and computer science. ## Features - ELEGOO Smart Robot Car: An educational STEM kit beginners (kids) to get hands-on experience about programming, electronics assembling and robotics knowledge. It is an integration solution for robotics learning and made for education. - Complete Package: Contains 24 kinds of module parts including obstacle avoidance, line tracing module, infrared remote control and also you can control it via phone and tablets of Android and iOS system, etc. - Easy to Assemble: All the module interface has been modified with XH2. 54 ports as to make it much easier and convenient to assemble the car and reduce the chances for errors. - Refined Tutorial: HD rendering instructions on how to assemble the robot car from scratch and all the necessary programs and codes are included. - Upgraded Package Design: More minimalism design and make it a perfect kit for your kids and friends.

It does not seem to be on their website.** A: Go here: https://www.elegoo.com/download/ and click on the "Elegoo Smart Robot Car Kit V3.0" picture. Then the download will start. Be sure to follow the instructions in the download on how to bring in the zip library for the IR remote control. Also, make sure you disconnect the Bluetooth module when you are uploading programs to the robot. It causes problems when it is connected. **Q: I am considering this for my son. What type of computer/laptop would work best for programming with this?** A: The software isn't hefty at all. It's just C coding. You'll be fine with any new standard (even entry level) PC, or one that was made in the last 10 years for that matter. Between home and work, I've programmed an Arduino on Windows XP, 7, and 10 with no problems. Make sure you have an internet connection to download libraries, USB to connect the board, and one of the above operating systems and you'll be rolling! **Q: specifically what type batteries are in the battery box? I know it is 5v, is it lipo? two 18650 with a voltage converter? I want to add to them?** A: ICR18650 2200 mAh 3.7v 8.14 wh ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Elegoo Smart Robot Car.

I bought this for my 9 year old son as a gift for the holidays. This was my attempt to give him gifts would peak his interest enough to get him away from all the games and electric devices and this did the trick. At first when I first opened it I wondered if it was to much for him to assemble but boy was I worng. He enjoyed every moment of it and has not stopped using it. Its so much fun that everyone in the house is enjoying it. It was designed and packaged so well and the instuctions were very easy to follow. Love the care they took and the packaging was neat and well organized. In its default state its packed with features but the intro to Arduino IDE increases its value immensely making it possible to add more components, features and functionality. This has already paid for itself times over and its value for money is undeniable!! ## Frequently Bought Together - ELEGOO UNO R3 Smart Robot Car Kit V4 for Arduino Robotics for Kids Ages 8-12 12-16 STEM Science Kits Coding Gifts for 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 Year Old Boys Girls Teens Cool Engineering Building Toys - ELEGOO UNO Project Super Starter Kit with Tutorial and UNO R3 Board Compatible with Arduino IDE - ELEGOO Upgraded 37 in 1 Sensor Modules Kit with Tutorial Compatible with Arduino IDE UNO R3 MEGA Nano --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/90114336-elegoo-uno-r3-smart-robot-car-kit-v4-for-arduino](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/90114336-elegoo-uno-r3-smart-robot-car-kit-v4-for-arduino) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-08-18*
