LEGO Robotics Level 1 — Early Obstacle-Avoiding Robot Car

LEGO Robotics Level 1 — Early Obstacle-Avoiding Robot Car is one of the earliest visible proof points in Parth's technical journey. Created in June 2016, this project shows Parth experimenting with robotics at around age 12 during his early LEGO robotics learning. The video shows a small robot car moving and changing direction when it encounters an obstacle. This was part of Parth's early structured robotics learning in Pune, where he later completed all three levels of LEGO Advanced Robotics. This phase became the foundation for his later technical confidence. Through the robotics classes, Parth started learning the basics of electronics, coding, assembling, and problem-solving. Over time, he began getting his own ideas for robotics and Arduino projects. After a few months, he started learning independently at home, using Google and YouTube whenever he got stuck. This project is included because it represents the starting point of the journey. It came before the drone work and much earlier than the later Arduino, IoT, Bluetooth, Alexa, GSM, relay-control, sensor, and automation projects. Origin story: Parth's early interest started with the idea of making things himself. When some materials were not easily available, his father suggested that he should join a class where he could learn the basics of electronics properly. That led him to robotics classes in Pune, where he completed all three levels of LEGO Advanced Robotics. This structured learning gave him the confidence to later learn independently at home and build his own projects. This project matters because it marks the earliest visible stage of Parth's builder journey. At around age 12, he was already learning through hands-on robotics experiments. The LEGO robotics course gave him a structured foundation, but the important shift came later when he started applying that learning independently at home. This early phase explains how his later drone, Arduino, IoT, Bluetooth, Alexa, GSM, and automation projects became possible. The video is titled "Parth experimenting Robotics June 2016- Level 1 Lego course." This project is documented through an early video/demo rather than a public code repository.

The project explored how a small robot car could respond to obstacles through basic robotics learning and experimentation.

The robot car moves and appears to turn when it detects an obstacle, demonstrating early hands-on learning in robotics behavior and motion control.

Parth built and tested the robot car as part of his early LEGO robotics learning and documented the experiment on video.
