Elf on the shelf for grown-ups (make a robot do it) #Raspberrypi

Youtuber Kevin McAleer has a unique take on the Elf on the Shelf Christmas tradition, Via Raspberry pi

YouTuber Kevin McAleer decided the nouveau Christmas tradition Elf on the Shelf shouldn’t be reserved for kids and that he should be able to get in on the fun. He could not, however, be arsed to think of 24 unique ways to pose the elf around the house and wait for people to find it, so he enlisted a robot to track the mischievous stripy-tights-clad toy for him.

The Robot

The robot itself is a Viam Rover, an off-the shelf purchase featuring a 720p webcam with an integrated microphone, a 3D accelerometer, and two integrated motor encoders to drive its wheels. It’s designed to be powered by a Raspberry Pi 4, purchased separately.
