Lunokhod

I want to tell a story about an old toy from my childhood. The robot is called the Lunohod. It was an expensive toy that I didn't have, but my friend did. The toy is also advanced and comes with a keyboard that lets kids write their own programs for how it moves around. For example, move forward 4 times, turn left by 30 degrees, fire a laser beam 5 times. This was the first time I had ever been exposed to programming, and I'm sure it sparked my interest in coding. My goal is to create a similar robot using Arduino at its heart, designed to get kids excited about learning how to program. The robot will have a small touchscreen display where you can write your own programs, save them, edit them, and of course run them right away. It will be open-source software, so anyone in the world can build it for themselves. It's completely extendable with various modules, making it customizable to fit any user's needs. The main goal is to inspire young kids to explore the exciting worlds of electronics and programming. To see a demonstration of the robot's capabilities, check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=udKO9RxS0ZU&list=PL9FQJ144u4gKnlGl_MzjfYwDC5LxCoCLG&index=1 Or follow us on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/Lunokhod.Toy for the latest updates and news about our project.
