This animal inspired robot will teach you fundamentals of robotics like 3D Design, 3D Printing, Electronics and Coding. QuadBot can walk, dance, and with simple sensors it can navigate and avoid obstacles. Add a camera, and suddenly you have a walking camera. Add a laser and a few servos and suddenly you have a mobile laser platform.
Format:
The core of the robot is the Arduino based QuadBoard, whilst the 3D Design is open source and 3D Printable. You can get all the components and print the rest for under £150, or get a printed version for under £200.
To program QuadBot you use Arduino or Ardublockly
