From the project
Mario-Kart-inspiriertes RC-Rennsystem: umgebaute Carrera-Autos, ESP32-C6, ESP-NOW, eigene Fernbedienung – Fan-Projekt, entstanden mit KI (Claude)
Mario-Kart-inspiriertes RC-Rennsystem für 8 Fahrzeuge im Außeneinsatz. Die Autos fahren mit ~30 km/h; Items, Kollisionen und Rundenzählung werden automatisch erkannt.
Das Projekt ist auf Nachbau ausgelegt: Alle Bauteile haben eine feste Bestellnummer eines echten Herstellers mit öffentlichem Datenblatt und sind handlötbar (SOT-23, SOT-223, SMA, THT – kein QFN).
