NOTE: These kits are designed to help you build robots. Each kit comes with a detailed manual, assembly instructions, diagrams, parts list, and all the 'custom parts' needed to build the kit. Common parts, such as RC servos or ICs are not included because they can be purchased elsewhere. These kits will help you develop your intuitive engineering skills. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The B-BOT Frame: This is a complete robot frame with a 360 degree bumper skirt and clear head dome. The frame is six inches in diameter and uses two modified RC servos (not included). The B-BOT can be controlled by a small microcontroller, such as the BOTBoard, PIC or BASIC STAMP. The B-BOT Frame is expandable, flexible, and makes it easy to get your robot projects off the ground quickly. The B-BOT is a very cool looking robot. The B-BOT Frame and assembly manual is $29.95. The B-BOT jr. (smaller, with single level base) is $19.95. Please add $4.00 shipping for first kit, $1.00 for each additional kit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The ARMBOT: The ARMBOT is a flexible three axis robotic arm. It is designed to use small unmodified RC servos and a microcontroller. The ARM-BOT provides clockwise and counter clockwise rotation of greater than 180 degree, shoulder lift of greater than 45 degree a gripper range of about two inches. The ARMBOT is surprisingly strong. It's fun to use, and can easily be build within a couple of hours. The ARMBOT kit and instruction manual is $12.95. Please add $2.00 shipping and handling. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The BOTBoard: The BOTBoard is a bare printed circuit board designed for robotic applications. The BOTBoard uses the popular 68HC11 microcontroller in a minimum configuration, and is easily programmed from your PC. Engineered to be flexible, the BOTBoard is also powerful and easy to use. Each board measures 2" X 3" and contains 38 I/O pins, and a small prototyping area. The BOTBoard also has four servo ports that make it ideal for robots such as the B-BOT or ARMBOT. The BOTBoard is $5.95 each, or three for $15.00. Add $3.00 shipping. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- I designed these kits to help inspire people to build robots. The kits are high quality and inexpensive, and easy to build.
