LoliBot is a simple robot platform designed by John Spencer, controlled by a Lolin32-Lite board using an ESP32 microcontroller.

LoliBot is designed to give you a quick win getting started with robotics, providing you with basic movement and sensor functionality that you can control from whatever software environment you like. You can then extend it with other sensors and actuators, or swap out parts to make the robot bigger or smaller, while building on the same basic principles and architecture.
