ELEGOO UNO R3 Smart Robot Car Kit V4 (with Camera)

Product overview

An Arduino-based robot car kit with an FPV camera and app control

ELEGOO's V4 Smart Robot Car Kit is built around the UNO R3 (Arduino-compatible) board, and this specific camera version adds an ESP32-WROVER-based Wi-Fi camera module on top of the standard line-tracking module, ultrasonic obstacle sensor, and IR remote control. The camera lets you drive and view a live video feed from the car through ELEGOO's companion app.

It ships with several built-in modes: auto-follow, obstacle avoidance, line tracking, IR remote control, and app/live-video control. That means it isn't just a static parts kit - it's a genuinely multi-mode robot that can also be reprogrammed through the Arduino IDE for custom behavior beyond the stock modes.

On assembly, ELEGOO uses pre-soldered components and XH2.54 plug-in connectors, which the hands-on write-up from Teach Your Kids Code and ELEGOO's own materials describe as easier and more error-resistant than raw jumper-wire kits. ELEGOO markets the kit for ages 12+, and while younger kids can help with driving and simple assembly, the Arduino programming side assumes some reading and logic comfort.

For evidence, we found ELEGOO's official product page, its Amazon and Micro Center listings, and one detailed hands-on write-up (Teach Your Kids Code). We did not find an independent, lab-style benchmark of this specific model - no measured camera latency, Wi-Fi range test, or timed battery-life run - so treat anything beyond ELEGOO's own spec sheet and reviewers' qualitative impressions as unverified.

As with most budget FPV robotics kits, expect the standard caveats reviewers note for phone-app-controlled cameras: video latency and Wi-Fi connection reliability can vary by phone model and router, and ELEGOO does not publish exact numbers for either, so real-world results will vary by household.
