An open-source DIY wheeled smart robot kit designed for interactive robotics learning, Arduino programming, and STEM education. Modeled after the cute Otto DIY aesthetic but adapted for fast, smooth 2-wheel drive rolling mobility, this compact robot navigates environments easily while intelligently avoiding obstacles using its ultrasonic "eyes," making it a highly engaging and approachable project for kids, students, and coding beginners.
