Specification

This is a prototype robot at the moment, and we expect the specification to change before we start selling it in January. Current specs as follows:

  • Supports Raspberry Pi Model A+ only
  • Size 100 x 80 25mm (excluding wheels)
  • Built-in power supply that works from 6.6V to 12V quite happily, supplying power to both the robot and the Pi
  • Serial connections (for SSH console cable) brought to convenient connector on the edge
  • Standard 4tronix 6-pin I2C breakout connector – direct fit for the IP Display module we make
  • 2 x line follower sensors with indicator LEDs
  • Ultrasonic distance sensor
  • N20 size, metal geared motors
  • 42mm wheels
  • Provided ready soldered. Just screw in your Pi and add batteries.

It really is as easy as Pi to get going in robotics now.
