PCB robots are fun. Especially when they are omnidirectional. In this video I have built a three and a four wheeled omnidirectional PCB robot based on an ESP32-S2. It has an OV2640 camera on board which's stream can be viewed via a webserver. As I made a mistake for the four wheeled robot it is not able to drive yet, but new PCBs are already in the lab. Next robots are based on ESP32-S3 and additionally comes with other huge features! Stay tuned!

  • this is so incredible. i can't believe one person can do this. this is the work of like a 40 person team at hasbro
  • @nkronert
    The pico click control is so satisfying to watch in action! 😊
  • That pico click control looked like magic. Amazing work! It would be really cool if you could tell it focus on something (either manual coords or basic image recognition) and it would handle the rotation by itself to always keep something in frame no matter where it drives around.

    Watching you soldering this board with components is SOO satisfying!
  • @adolphtrudeau
    Your fit, finish and attention to aesthetics are second to none! Thank you for making and making videos
  • @r00yce
    Awesome to see new projects coming along, Moe! Keep it up!
  • @1Chitus
    I love it! Thank you for sharing this piece of "awesomeness" with the rest of us!
  • @cois
    Wow! Absolutely amazing! So inspiring, I just want to start ordering parts and pull out my soldering iron now!
  • @jbrownson
    Great project, the movement is so smooth and responsive, thanks for sharing it with us
  • @VitorFThome
    I'm graduating on electronics engineering and dream with being capable of creating projects that are as clean and miniaturized and incredible as your man, you are my inspiration! Thank you so much for actually creating this content and also for sharing the picoclick and the other stuff with us!! You're awesome!
  • @TheJay6621
    You are a genius, that pico click motion control is just on another level..
  • @maciucovidiu7815
    As a maker, I can't thank you enough for sharing your knowledge. Absolutely brilliant content!
  • As a DIY enthusiast, it's really exciting to see your work. thank you!
  • @fpvgods
    You're amazing for many reasons. You made us smarter. So much more to say....there is so much to compliment you Sir. People like you should be celebrities NOT the useless movie stars. Thank you so much.
  • @greyfreeman5537
    Extremely skilled and knowledgeable. Thank you so much for sharing!
  • @bluebon5228
    i admire and respect this million time , pico control was so out of world
  • @Arvolve
    Subscribed, great work and showing all the process!

    This is absolutely amazing. See, I've always wanted to create loads of mini robots just like the one in this video, add turrets to the top of them, and control all of them with just my hand gestures. But, I've never understood exactly HOW to create a pcb, that is just a whole new level of understanding.
