## Track Vehicle System

3D-printed track vehicle system with batteries and motor built into the tracks.

### **General info**

---

The leading idea behind the project was to create a tracked vehicle system "in the comfort of one's home", with readily-available parts and on an inexpensive printer.

Other milestone in the making of the project was to embed the motor and gearbox system, as well as the batteries, directly into the tracks.

### **Hardware**

The motor is specified to run at 12600 RPM, and it's attached to a 100:1 gearbox system. Alongside of it, 6 pieces of 18650 cells in 3S2P arrangement are embedded into the track system.

For the minimal version, an ESP32 device was connected to a relay array which control the power switching, as well as the direction the motor is turning to.

Another ESP32 device is setup to send joystick commands to the first ESP32 chip via [ESP-NOW](https://www.espressif.com/en/solutions/low-power-solutions/esp-now) c
