Carduino. 3D Printed RC Car

Remote controlled (RC) cars hold a place in the hearts of so many. Just as we’ve seen through resurgences of Tang, and even the Backstreet Boys and New Kids on the Block, nostalgia is a powerful force. Think back to a younger, maybe even more innocent time, and the toys and games of that era. For a lot of people, RC cars were a real staple. First, just getting one at the store and feeling the glee of being able to control its zooming. Maybe later, building one from a kit and feeling an inventor’s sort of satisfaction when finally it was up and running, making circles around the cat or little sister in the kitchen. Nostalgia combined with ingenuity is a driving force too in the 3D printing industry. It’s not total nostalgia, though: it’s driven by more than just the idea to revisit our own youth. Rather than just reliving our own youths, though, we can improve upon them and really share with today’s younger generation.
