Give it a name and you will have power over it. I learned this from an MIT professor. So let's give the part of the car names. Then we could refer to them. Talk to them. Change them. Do all kinds of things with them. Give it a name and you will have power over it.

TL. DR.
Front Motor, Back Motor, Diodes, Cables, Controller (default), Switch
The car when opened
Front Motor
Locate the front motor at the ... front of the car. It is this small white element. Or at least this is its body.
Back Motor
Diodes - use for the car lights
Controller
This is the default controller. The one that we are going to remove
Switch
The switch is used for turning the car on an off. It is connected to the batteries. We will keep the switch.
Cables
Well, you can see them. They are all over the place.

Perfect STEM course. Module 1 - Smart Car with Raspberry PI
Disassemble a remote control car. Change the brain of the car with a smart computer like Raspberry Pi. Build a smart device with artificial intelligence that you could control from your phone and that could freely navigate itself in the real world and on the Internet. Use your hands. Develop programs for your robot and your phone. Be curious and invent.
The perfect course lives up to its name. You move through the content, we check it and return feedback to you.
In the end, you should be able to better understand how to program and design smart devices that would make the world a better place. For everybody age 12+, 16+, 21+, 35+, etc. The hardware costs about 150$. It changes through the years so it might take some time for you to find it as Raspberry PI, motor drivers, power banks and h-bridges.. they change. Note that the course was designed to be led by a teacher with a decent knowledge in embedded hardware and software. This, on the other hand should not stop you, if you are curious.
