MA-VIN Robot Kit

MA-VIN provides a great introduction to programable robots. No soldering required.

The MA-VIN robot kit is a versatile modular robotics teaching resource with easy 'icon'based visual programming for the beginner and for the more advanced is ‘C’ programmable using WINAVR.

MA-VIN will help students develop new skills and confidence in microelectronics, programming, robotics, sensing and control.

JCM Minisumo robot kit with Sensie programming software.

Designed for the Western Canadian Robotics Society as a powerful but user friendly and easy to build sumo wrestling robot, the SAMrI is a great kit for learning about the principles of electronic fabrication, programming, and mechanical design.

Fully programmable and highly expandable.

Comes with and excellent manual detailing construction techniques and theory of operation AND an instructional video!

* Requires Soldering Skills.

The CYBUG SERIES is a new, low cost, exciting type of educational kit. It combined elements of electronics, robotics, mechanics, and biology in a unique and lovable form. It's instructional, very easy to build, and fun to customize. The instruction manual is easy to read, and describes how to solder, the function of each component, and the components function in the actual robot. These kits are intended for novice robotisists.

The word "beam" in BEAM robotics is an acronym for Biology, Electronics, Aesthetics, and Mechanics.

This is a term that refers to a style of robotics that primarily uses simple analog circuits, such as comparators, instead of a microprocessor in order to produce an unusually simple design that trades flexibility for robustness and efficiency in performing the task for which it was designed.

Here you will find a range of low cost Robot Kits that embrace the BEAM ideology perfectly.

The microcontroller is the brain of the robot.

These excellent units from Pololu are based on the ATMEL rance of processors and may be programmed using the C language.

Sensors make the Robot..!!

Give your Robot a sense of direction and allow your Robot to detect objects or walls with our Infrared or Ultrasonic rangefinders.

Give your Robot the ability to know the date and time or use our Accelerometer or Gyro to give a sense of movement.

The Fairchild sensors allow your Robot to follow a line or detect the edge of a Mini Robot Sumo arena.

Allow your robot to communicate with you during operation... can be used to display mission status information.

These are also very useful during program debugging where variable, sensor or other robot status information can easily be displayed during operation.

The base of your Robot, Chassis plates, Gearboxes, Ball Casters, Tank Tracks and even wheels.

To make things move.

A range of Gear Head Motors and accesories and Hitec Servo's.

Take remote control of your Robot with a Bluetooth interface or use one of our cables / programmers to download to you ATMega microcontroller.

Our friends at Sparkfun produce some amazing products.. with all sorts of fun robotics applications.

Our friends at Pololu Robotics & Electronics produce some amazing products.. with all sorts of fun robotics applications.

Wikipedia (www.wikipedia.org) gives a good definition of BEAM robotics:

The word "beam" in BEAM robotics is an acronym for Biology, Electronics, Aesthetics, and Mechanics. This is a term that refers to a style of robotics that primarily uses simple analog circuits instead of a microprocessor in order to produce an unusually simple design (in comparison to traditional mobile robots) that trades flexibility for robustness and efficiency in performing the task for which it was designed.

Almost 20 years ago the I2C bus was designed by Philips to allow easy communication between components which reside on the same circuit board.

The name I2C translates into "Inter IC". The original communication speed was defined with a maximum of 100 kbit per second and many applications don't require faster transmissions. For those that do there is a 400 kbit and a high speed 3.4 Mbit option available.

I2C alloys you to connect multiple devices to a microcontroller that supports the bus using just 2 I/O lines. I2C is supported by the Atmel range of microcontrollers.

A fantastic range of Robot themed necklaces by Majique.

These don't do anything except look fantastic.
