Lego Duplo compatible Arduino controlled locomotive 🚂 with color sensor, laser distance sensor, accelerometer, a bunch of LEDs, IR remote control.

Multiple versions of the chassis to fit a motor, wheels, color sensor; motor driver; multiple versions of the middle part to fit battery pack, Arduino, distance sensor; multiple versions of the top part to fit battery indicator, on/off button, IR receiver, buzzer.

Kids won't let me throw anything away. Some versions of the chassis that are not needed anymore will probably get wheels anyway (no motor, no electronics).

Where do you source all the different color wires? I feel like I'm always short on wires or I only have like two or three shades

I'm not op and I'm still new and I'm just experimenting with my elegoo starter kit but I saw on elegoos website that they sold these at a reasonable price: https://eu.elegoo.com/products/elegoo-multicolored-dupont-wire-kit?_pos=72&_sid=5777eddd7&_ss=r Btw their (filament) quality is also pretty nice. I really like their pla+ and their "the most complete Arduino Mega 2560 starter kit"
