The
RoboBuilder robotics kits from a Korean company of the same name (or is it
IRobou?) is now
available for purchase from RobotShop. The kits, which are similar to the
Bioloid robotics kits from
Robotis, employ modular components, like motors and sensors, to allow builders to quickly create a wide variety of robotic creations. RoboBuilder touts features such as metal ball bearings, PID motor control for precise motion, and reverse/over voltage protection. The kits also come with distance and sound sensors.
The
basic RoboBuilder kit starts at $349 and goes all the way up to $3,000 for the Expert kit. Have any of our readers played with the kits yet? Let us know how they are by leaving a comment.
