Robotics with the Boe-Bot Parts Kit This compact, high-quality chassis kit turns any Parallax Board of Education development platform into a rolling robot. The electronics pack includes all of the components needed to build three sensor systems for autonomous roaming robot. Upgrade your existing Propeller Board of Education or BASIC Stamp Board of Education Full Kit into a roaming robot. Features Also compatible with the BASIC Stamp HomeWork Board or Board of Education Shield for Arduino with a few extra parts (see Notes under Details) Three sensor systems (touch whiskers, light sensors, infrared object detectors) let your robot roam on its own Sturdy brushed-aluminum chassis features holes and slots for mounting sensors and accessories Free tutorials and example code for BASIC Stamp and Propeller Replacement components are available for easy maintenance Kit Contents (1) - Boe-Bot Robot Chassis (2) - Parallax continuous rotation servos (2) - Plastic wheel and tire sets (1) - 1" tail wheel (1) - 4 AA Cell Battery Holder (2) - Whisker wires for touch sensors (2) - Phototransistors for light sensors (2) - IR Transmitter Assembly Kits (2) - Infrared Receivers for object sensors (2) - Pushbuttons, LEDs, and a piezospeaker (2) - Passive components (resistors, capacitors, 3-pin headers, and jumper wires) (2) - All the required hardware (screws, standoffs, spacers, nuts. washers, and grommets) Note: If using a BASIC Stamp HomeWork Board, you will also need a 4 AA Battery Holder with Tinned Leads and two additional 3-Pin Single Row Headers. If using the Board of Education Shield for Arduino, you will also need one Boe-Boost module, three 1/2" nylon spacers, three 4/40 nylon nuts, and three 4/40 7/8" panhead screws. The Robotics Shield Kit is a complete option for Arduino Uno, Mega, and Duemilanove modules.
