Your page can't be scrolled with the keyboard and it's missing the native scrollbar. You should remove those overflow rules from the body and .content div.

Donkeycar is a fantastic project and it got a whole lot better with the recent release of Donkeycar 3.0.

Keep it up guys!

Cool project! Thanks for sharing

Two questions to know a bit more:

- how long did it take you to complete that project?

- what is the rough total cost?

If you have even a peripheral interest and are in the Bay Area come to the meetup / race referenced - all are welcome!

It’s surprisingly fun and they serve an awesome BBQ lunch - both me and my 7 year old son enjoyed the program immensely -

If anyone here is interested, check out https://diyrobocars.com or https://diyrobocars.com.au in Australia. I organise the DIY Robocars events in Australia (and we are looking for a sponsor). I'd also recommend joining the Donkeycar and DIY Robocars Slack groups which is where most of the discussion happens in between events.

Apologies. This is a new blog I am working on. Will fix it.

My first car took about a week. The second one took a day. The total BOM was around 400$.

Note: I am not great with hardware.
