Description
The kit comes in loose parts, so you will need to assemble it, but no soldering is needed. What’s so special about this mobile robot kit is it has ultrasonic sensor where you can program it for obstacle detection and perform obstacle avoidance. And we have prepared the steps for you to assemble it and sample sketch based on Arduino for your robot to avoid bumping into obstacle while navigating.
With the beginner friendly Maker UNO as the controller, everyone can build and program this mobile robot.
