In the last chapter, we built the Adafruit Motor HAT, an electronic device that allows you to control up to four DC motors with your Raspberry Pi. We also looked at a generic motor controller that we ran through the Arduino board. Now that you know how to get your robot to move, let’s start building it.

In this chapter, we will build our robot. Along the way, I’ll give some tips and pointers I’ve picked up in my builds. There are a lot of little things to consider when assembling a robot. You’ll encounter some odd scenarios that you hadn’t considered. The most ...
