Robot

Simple, affordable and yours

A wheeled Arduino robot: the body is 3D-printed and everything else is standard parts. It covers the whole first course.

The course robot: two wheels, an Arduino board, line sensors
What it’s made of

Every part is visible

No black box: mechanics, electronics and the algorithm connect so that students understand every part.

Variants

Robot variants

The specification is still being refined. The parts list is preliminary.

Course robot

Basic

Arduino Uno, L298P motor shield, TT motors, two line sensors, ultrasound and a gripper. Covers the whole course except the encoder elective.

In development

With encoders

Arduino Nano, TB6612 driver, N20 motors with encoders. Precise distance and wheel speed control.

Other robots

The app isn’t tied to one robot

The board, pins, motors and sensors are described by a hardware profile, so a robot from another manufacturer can be added.

Build a robot and teach it to think

The first lesson starts with assembling the chassis and writing the first program.
