Robot car kit additions: U.S. mount, standoffs, and bumpers
These things are designed with Tinkercad. Edit them online:
- U.S. mount and standoffs: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/4pYk4dzTUIs
- Front bumper: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/j7IARV6cSri

- Circuit for sensing is also shown as tinkercad circuit project: https://www.tinkercad.com/things/jznavQ265LV
The Robot kit from Banggood is missing some parts. These are complementary parts. - U.S. mount is for helping to attach the US sensor to its base. In addition I added some standoffs, or you can buy as instructed in the next video and info.
Bumpers are used to add collisoin sensors on 4 spots: front, left, right and back.
Cirsuity is used to detect which is triggered, using a single Arduino pin.
The installation of these parts on my robot are shown in the photos.

A video explaining how to assemble this kit: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=604&v=eKcKdMb_nkQ
in this video, the US sensor is attached with a makeshift wire. This part will make it really attached. In addition, standoffs are missing in the kit, you can buy, or you can print. I made 5, using 2 for the motor controller, and 3 for the Arduino.
