Resources
A collection of resources (software, hardware, curriculum) for getting started with RACECAR Neo! All of the content on this page is free and open source. In terms of progression, we recommend starting with the free simulator to get comfortable with the codebase and custom libraries, and then building a physical car when resources are available.
Setup Guides
Setup guides are located in living documents that are constantly updated by the development staff
