FPV IoT Micro Tanks

Many of us still remember how, as children, we spent hours in front of the TV, playing the legendary Battle City. And what would happen if the game was being developed these days? Of course we would want to play it over the Internet and perhaps with AR glasses. But what if we went even further and brought it into the real world? Where we could drive around in a handmade arena, or in a hallway. We can fire an infrared cannon at the enemy, or at his base. Or just chase pets? And since these are IoT tanks - we can control them from the browser. Or even write javascript code to control them!

I'm Alex (Oleksandr), maker from Kharkiv, Ukraine. Currently based in Spain. For the last 13 years I've been working as a software engineer, making great stuff. But I've always liked bringing virtual things into the real world as well as learning how everything works under-the-hood.
