Robotic line tracer
Gain Robot and Programming Experience With This Easy to Use Electronics Kit
This awesome line tracing robot goes from box to track in a matter of minutes. Draw your own track and watch as the PC Programmable Robot Line Tracing Kit by Artec Japan navigates through the twists and turns. It's a great introduction to robotics and programming and allows for complete creativity when designing the track.
Assemble the kit and use it in one of two ways, programming mode or line tracing mode. With the supplied software and instructions get students to program the robot to navigate across the floor. In line tracing mode, simply draw a line on some paper with a thick black marker and the robot will follow the course. It accomplishes this with two optical sensors, somewhat similar to a common garden bug.
Requires 2 x AA batteries (not included).
Size: 120(L) x 64(W) x 55(H)mm
