DESCRIPTION: The Boe-Bot is built on a
high-quality brushed aluminum chassis that provides a sturdy platform for the
servo motors and printed circuit board. Mounting holes and slots may be used to
add custom robotic equipment. The rear wheel is a drilled polyethylene ball
held in place with a cotter pin. Wheels are machined to fit precisely on the
servo spline and held in place with a small screw.
The Boe-Bot's flexibility stems from the fact that it's a rolling Board of Education. All I/O projects are built on the breadboard.
The Board of Education (and BS2-IC) may be removed to be used as your platform
for the other Stamps in Class curriculum. The robot may be programmed to
follow a line, solve a maze, follow light, or communicate with another
robot by following the instruction of the Robotics text v1.5.
Extra
activities which may require additional parts for your Boebot include: making
your Boe-Bot talk with a speech board, maze contests, line following,
interfacing direction sensors, and using RF modules and video/camera equipment
to build a Video-Bot.
