Components
1 x 18650 2 Cell Holder
 2 x 18650 lithium-ion batteries
 1 x Arduino Board (e.g., Arduino Uno)
 1 x Robot chassis and motor drivers
Code
```c
// Define the battery voltage and capacity
#define BATTERY_VOLTAGE 7.4
#define BATTERY_CAPACITY 2600 // mAh
void setup() {
  // Initialize the Arduino board
  Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
  // Read the battery voltage
  float batteryVoltage = (analogRead(A0)  5.0) / 1023.0;
  
  // Check if the battery voltage is below the threshold
  if (batteryVoltage < BATTERY_VOLTAGE  0.7) {
    Serial.println("Low battery warning!");
  }
  
  // Continue running the robot code
  // ...
}
```
Connect the 18650 2 Cell Holder to the Arduino board, and use the analog input pin (A0) to monitor the battery voltage. The code above demonstrates how to read the battery voltage and trigger a low battery warning when necessary.

Components
1 x 18650 2 Cell Holder
 2 x 18650 lithium-ion batteries
 1 x ESP32 Development Board
 1 x IoT sensor module (e.g., temperature and humidity sensor)
Code
```c
#include <WiFi.h>
#include <PubSubClient.h>
// Define the battery voltage and capacity
#define BATTERY_VOLTAGE 7.4
#define BATTERY_CAPACITY 2600 // mAh
WiFiClient espClient;
PubSubClient client(espClient);
void setup() {
  // Initialize the ESP32 board
  Serial.begin(115200);
  WiFi.begin("your_wifi_ssid", "your_wifi_password");
  while (WiFi.status() != WL_CONNECTED) {
    delay(1000);
    Serial.println("Connecting to WiFi...");
  }
  Serial.println("Connected to WiFi");
  
  // Initialize the IoT sensor module
  // ...
}
void loop() {
  // Read the battery voltage
  float batteryVoltage = (analogRead(A0)  5.0) / 1023.0;
  
  // Check if the battery voltage is below the threshold
  if (batteryVoltage < BATTERY_VOLTAGE  0.7) {
    Serial.println("Low battery warning!");
    client.publish("iot/sensors/battery", "Low");
  } else {
    client.publish("iot/sensors/battery", "OK");
  }
  
  // Continue running the IoT sensor node code
  // ...
}
```
Connect the 18650 2 Cell Holder to the ESP32 board, and use the analog input pin (A0) to monitor the battery voltage. The code above demonstrates how to read the battery voltage and publish the status to an MQTT broker using the PubSubClient library.
