Raspberry Pi Pico drives StoRPer modular DIY robot rover

Raspberry Pi.

The Raspberry Pi has such a deep relationship with robotic rovers that you can still find regular competitions for them, like Pi Wars. Today, however, we're showing off a cool DIY robot rover kit, known as the StoRPer, created by Jo Hinchliffe, that you can build at home. It has an open source design and is powered by one of our favorite microcontrollers, the Raspberry Pi Pico.

According to Hinchliffe, the kit is mainly a chassis with a custom-designed PCB. You can add or remove components as desired to customize the robot rover. It includes 3D-printed mounting components, but you can order them if you don't have a 3D printer to print them at home.
