A website controlled Lego Robot using the Raspberry Pi
summary
A website‑controlled LEGO robot replaces the EV3 brick with a Raspberry Pi via BrickPi so 26 students over a 10‑week IoT task build web interfaces, mapping and live video and an automated search that finds and retrieves ice‑pack “victims.” Server stack uses Flask and sqlite, code is on GitHub, and 22 classroom robots prove it works end‑to‑end. Expect about 4s sensor startup latency, threading and IMU reinitialisation quirks, and a bizarre fault where the thermal camera forces motors off unless polled continuously.
