DiddyBorg V2 Robot Kit – Red Edition on Sale

Description

DiddyBorg V2 Robot Kit – Red Edition

The idea remains the same, a 6 wheeled high-torque robotics platform, but give everyone the ability to add lots of extra functionality and get your robot to perform a wide range of tasks. Want to detect objects in your DiddyBorg’s path? Add the ultrasonic mounts at the front and back. Need to use a servo to move a robotic arm? Mount them on the multifunction top and go!

You could even add the Raspberry Pi touch screen and turn your robot into a touchscreen controlled turtle.

A Raspberry Pi B+/2/3/3B+ and SD card are required to complete your DiddyBorg v2, they are not included. DiddyBorg v2 optionally supports the Pi Camera, also not included.
