RC Robot with Headtracking and FPV Video

Purpose:

This is a 2 wheel drive robot that uses car wiper motors for its drive motors, sends video to FPV goggles, and receives headtracking data to move the camera accordingly on a two-servo gimbal.

Parts:

2 x DC wiper motors (modified to remove common ground)
1 x RC Receiver - frsky
1 x Arduino Uno for robot
1 x Arduino Leonardo for head tracker
1 x gyro/accelerometer
1 x Motor controller (dual H bridge was used)

Programs:

Headtracker Arduino code (requires 32U4 Arduino):
