PARALLAX Boe Beginner Friendly Robot Kit | Serious Robotics Assembly and Re-programming Kit BEGINNER FRIENDLY  Build a rolling robot with a BASIC Stamp 2 micro-controller brain. Just follow the clear, step-by-step instruction manual and illustrations with the included book, Robotics with the Boe-Bot. No programming or electronics experience is needed! For ages 12 and up. EXPERIMENT WITH CIRCUITS  The Boe-Bot Robot takes about 1-2 hours to put together. Each project in the Robotics text provides a unique new experience of wiring and source code tuning. Completing the entire set of projects takes 50 hours. The USB Board of Education (and BS2-IC) may also be removed to be used as a platform for other inventions and studying other subjects, such as physics with our wide variety of sensors. GREAT EDUCATIONAL KIT - You can find Boe-Bot robots in middle and high schools, vocational schools and colleges, robotics clubs, and hobbyists homes. They are great companions for learning or teaching technology, mechatronics, and STEM programs. It's also an approved platform for the Boy Scouts of America Robotics Merit Badge. QUALITY COMPONENT PIECES - The Boe-Bot robot is built on a high-quality brushed aluminum chassis that provides a sturdy platform for the continuous rotation servo motors and BASIC Stamp module's Board of Education carrier board. Many mounting holes and slots may be used to add custom robotic equipment. The rear wheel is a slider ball held in place with a cotter pin. Drive wheels are molded to fit precisely on the servo spline and held in place with a small screw. ONE-OF-A-KIND ROBOT - What really makes the Boe-Bot unique is the BASIC Stamp microcontroller's flexibility of programming when coupled with breadboard circuit construction. Following along in Robotics with the Boe-Bot, users quickly learn about embedded projects, from wiring and components to programming and mechanical dependencies. The kit includes a set of passive components (wires, resistors, capacitors), sensors (photoresistors, bumpers, infrared sensors) and hardware (whisker touch-sensor
