Description

Youtube Video - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIYBcQv2vvM

I built a web-controlled robot from scratch — and instead of 
hot-gluing a bunch of dev boards together, I designed a custom 
all-in-one PCBA to keep things clean and repeatable.

The robot streams live video to a browser-based controller, 
reads battery voltage, monitors CPU temperature, and drives 
two motors with a virtual joystick. All controlled over WiFi 
from any device with a browser — no app required.

And because the Pi Zero 2W sits at the heart of it, there's 
nothing stopping someone from plugging an AI model into this 
thing and letting it drive itself.
