Learn real-world engineering skills with the friendly, capable, and peppy activity bot. it's a great option for first-time robot-builders, as well as for an intro to technology and engineering courses in high schools and colleges. Step-by-step web tutorials take you through programming its multicore propeller chip in c, wiring circuits on a breadboard, and building sensor systems so your robot can navigate on its own. following the checkmarks gets you to the fun fast, with optional links for added learning. The is ready for tinkering with off-the-shelf components, additional sensors, and upgrade kits. the activity board sports a mini audio jack and a socket for an optional XBEE RF module (not included).

• Easy to program in C on Windows, Mac, or Linux with the Simple IDE software and custom Simple Libraries
• Multicore Propeller control board makes it quick to integrate sensors, motors, and more
• High-speed servo motors with optical encoders provide fast, consistent maneuvering
• Breadboard and 3-pin headers let you experiment with common electronics parts, no soldering or proprietary connectors required
• Component kit makes navigation systems that use touch, visible light, infrared light and ultrasonic sensors
