I found the Adeept Smart Car Kit easy to build, but it took several hours. The instructions to build the car are not comprehensive and require some testing and clean up. The other issue was how to run the cables between the computer and external devices.
I recommend going out to the web and finding videos and other instructions on how to build the car before you start so that you have a complete idea on what it will take to build the car.
Once you have the car built, you will now need to get the Raspberry Pi ready for programming. There are several good videos and sites to help you. I think the simplest approach that I found is using Thonny to connect to the Raspberry Pi to load program on to the car.
This is a great kit and I highly recommend it to help people see how programming can be used to control various devices that can control a car.
I excited to start programing and sharing with my nieces and nephews.
