If you're looking for robotics lessons, the downloads include a complete tutorial, and code, for creating a real, remote-controlled robot car. You can download the following files:

• A Python script to control the car and all its features.
• Additionally needed Python scripts.
• Sounds for the engine start and the car horn.
• A detailed instruction manual.

The car has the following features:

Basic features:

• DC motor control with variable speed for driving.
• Servo motor steering control.

Optional features:

• Extra servo motor to open and close a sunroof/tailgate/any other movement you want to use it for.
• A stepper motor for smooth rotation of for instance a banner.
• LED lights: flashers left and right, break lights, front lights and an RGB LED.
• LCD display.
• Infrared sensor input for obstacle avoidance.
• Audio: import songlist, playlist and random shuffle.

The instruction manual is in English. It's 35 pages in PDF format and has:

• Detailed overviews of all the connections for the GPIO board.
• Explanations about controlling DC, servo and stepper motors.
• Information about additional Python packages needed and how to install them.
• Example code for various features used in the car.
• A detailed description to make the car autostart.

In the preview files are a photo and a video of the car I made, an overview of the download files and a thumbnail view of the instruction manual.
