Programming Robots in Python

[sbmannin]

I was wondering if anyone could help me find a robot like the ActivityBot Robot kit. ( link listed below)

I really like this robot kit but it is not programmable in python. If anyone knows of a similar robot that uses python please comment below.

Cheers,
BM

There aren’t many robots that can be programmed in Python… We would recommend building one based on the Raspberry Pi and the RaspiRobot Controller Board:

• robotshop.com/en/raspberry-p … =RB-Ras-07

Would this be suitable for your needs? Let us know if you would like ideas for what other parts are needed.

jarcand,
While I’m on a robotics team and know programming I am not experienced with " putting all of the pieces together". Because of this i need a kit to break it down for me for the first time.
If this controller board is compatible with the kit I would be okay.
Thanks for the help,
-BM

Ok, you can use the two above parts with the following platform:

• Multi-Chassis 4WD Robot Kit (ATV)

You will need batteries for your motors:

• robotshop.com/en/terminal-ba … =RB-Cyt-52
• robotshop.com/en/wh-01-wirin … =RB-Onl-12
• robotshop.com/en/bat-03-6v-1 … =RB-Hpr-03
• robotshop.com/en/nimh-nicd-s … =RB-Ten-02

And a battery like this for your Raspberry Pi:

• robotshop.com/en/usb-battery … RB-Spa-789
• robotshop.com/en/usb-cable-a … =RB-Ada-28

Hope this helps,
