BeetleC (W/O M5StickC)

Description

Ever wanted to build your robotic car with tiny body and smooth control? Here comes the BeatleC, features a dual-driver and 7 RGB LEDs, extreme concise design and together with M5StickC (features ESP32-Based Wi-Fi control), makes it the handiest and full-function small robotic car ever.

BeatleC works together with M5StickC controller. On the base, we have two DC geared motor driven by STM32F030. The two parts are connected through the top slot on StickC. The body of the robotic car is inclined because the wheels we put on front and back are different sizes as you can see from the pictures. Besides, a power switch is placed at the front.
