The circuit board decodes it and starts the motors. It's the same idea that helps steer drones and satellites.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eOne controller, two robots\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe controller you build is universal.

You put together the motors, circuit board, radio receiver and wheels yourself. When you finish, you have a real RC car that drives in every direction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat will I learn by building Dashy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYou'll see how an RC car works from the inside: how the controller sends radio signals, how the receiver and circuit board understand them, and how motors turn them into motion. The booklet also tells the story of radio control, from Nikola Tesla's radio boat to today's drones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat age range is Dashy suitable for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDashy is made for ages 7+ and for first-time builders. Kids should build with an adult nearby, and younger builders may need help with the screwdriver and small parts. Not suitable for children under 3.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDo I need any prior experience to build Dashy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo. Dashy is designed for complete beginners, so you don't need to be a \"tech genius\". Follow the illustrated steps and you'll soon be holding a working car you built yourself.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat tools are included\/required?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEverything you need to build Dashy is in the box, including a screwdriver. No soldering is needed. The only thing you have to add is batteries.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does it take to build Dashy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMost first-time builders finish Dashy and its controller in about 45 minutes. That's one sitting, and then it's race time!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I program Dashy?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo, and that's on purpose. Dashy is all about building and driving: real electronics, hands-on assembly and instant play. When you're ready to code, Bit 2.0 and Codee 2.0 are the perfect next step.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use the same controller for Dashy and Skitter?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes! The controller you build is universal. It drives Dashy and Skitter, our DIY walking bug. It works the other way too: a Skitter controller runs Dashy. Just press the pairing button on the one you want to drive. One at a time, just switch by pairing.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"CircuitMess Marketplaces","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67784889827625,"sku":"CM-DASHY","price":69.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0537\/2293\/9549\/files\/Dashy_Gallery_01.webp?v=1794230491","url":"https:\/\/themidnighttavern.com\/products\/dashy","provider":"The Midnight Tavern","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
