FAQ

**Q: What type of power source should I ideally use for a mobile robot?** A: A rechargeable 18650 Li-ion battery pack is highly recommended for driving motors effectively, providing much better current than a standard 9V battery.

**Q: Do I need to be an expert in C++ programming to build an Arduino robot?** A: Not at all! Basic knowledge is helpful, but many beginner kits come with fully pre-written code that you can simply upload, modify, and learn from.
