DIY WiFi-Controlled Robot Quadwheel : Kapidhwaj 500

Welcome to the world of budget-friendly robotics! In this Instructable, we'll guide you through the process of creating your very own WiFi-controlled robot car, affectionately named "Kapidhwaj 500". What makes it special? It's not only cost-effective, but it's also a powerful and customizable robot that you can control using just your smartphone or computer.

Before diving into the project, make sure you have all the necessary components ready. Double-check your list and let the Kapidhwaj 500 assembly begin!

1. NodeMCU
2. DC Motors
3. Motor Driver
4. Chassis
5. Wheels
6. Caster Wheel
7. Power Supply
8. Jumper Wires
9. Miscellaneous (screws, nuts, etc.)

We believe in budget-friendly innovation! Here's a breakdown of the costs, showing that creativity doesn't have to break the bank.
