Custom Beach Robot Handles the Hard Work

A custom remote-controlled cart was built to help transport beach gear more easily, using an e-bike cargo rack, plywood, and two motors for differential steering. The cart includes safety features like lights, a start button, and an obstacle-detection sensor, and is controlled via a smartphone app. The project provides a practical solution for moving heavy beach items without manual effort, though it is not yet autonomous.
