Silver Arrows

A 1:10 scale Formula 1 car with high-torque DC motors, voice-controlled over Arduino and Bluetooth.

Silver Arrows cover
Overview

A realtime 1:10 scale Formula 1 car, powered by genuinely powerful DC motors on a 3.5-inch wheelbase, driven by voice rather than a controller. Design inspiration came from the Mercedes W12.

Two Formula 1 projects in the same year was not an accident.

What I built
  • Voice control over Bluetooth

    Responds to a specific set of voice commands, relayed to the car through Arduino and a Bluetooth module.

  • Physical build

    Built around high-torque DC motors on a 3.5-inch wheelbase, with the chassis and livery modeled on the Mercedes W12.
