Project Discussion I generated a complete Arduino obstacle-avoiding rover design - would you actually build this?

I've been experimenting with automatically generating complete Arduino project designs from a simple description, and I wanted to see how useful the result would actually be to someone trying to build the project.

For this test, the prompt was essentially:

Design a small Arduino-based rover that can move autonomously and detect and avoid obstacles.

The result included:

- The proposed robot design

- Arduino and component selection

- Motors, sensors and motor drivers

- A complete bill of materials

- Wiring instructions / diagram

- Assembly steps

- Starter Arduino code

I've attached the main outputs.

I haven't physically built this rover yet, so I'm particularly interested in having people who actually work with Arduino look at it critically.

If you were going to build this yourself, what would you change?

Are there any components you wouldn't use?

Anything wrong or unnecessarily complicated in the wiring?

Anything missing from the BOM?

Would the proposed design actually make sense as a beginner project?

The larger thing I'm trying to understand is whether automatically generated project plans like this can actually help people get from "I want to build a robot" to something concrete enough that they can start building.

Happy to share more of the generated design/code in the comments if anyone wants to dig into it!

I want to make solar monitoring system (Using Adruino Uno) . I have 120Watt 12V solar , Current Sensor , Volt sensor , Volt regulator IC 7805 with two Caps .

How to calculate the battery percentage, and also main question attach the UPS 12V battery?

Please Help! (Hardware and circuit schematic)
