My grandson is going to be learning C++ to be able to help program a First Robot next year at his high school. I am looking for a kit he can build (15 years old) and be able to use C++ language to control it’s micro-controller. Can anybody suggest a kit that will get us started.
Thanks
Wally
Hello Wally and welcome to the RobotShop Forum!
The best kit for getting started programming robots in c++ would be the DFRobotShop Rover.
This kit is based on the Arduino microcontroller which can be programmed in Processing (a very close relative of C++). Processing is basically C++ with the addition of a few functions and simplifications and is ideal for beginners.
See below a project built using this platform:
