A versatile little robot that requires no soldering, and very little assembly. The Dagu Adventure Bot provides a great introduction to the world of robotics and robot programming.

The robot's main circuit board is Arduino compatible, and so it can be easily programmed by connecting it to a computer with a USB cable (included), and then downloading code compiled in the easy to use Arduino IDE. All you need to do is provide 4 AA batteries (not included) and you're away!

Features

• Manoeuvrable, able to turn on the spot
• No soldering required
• An infra-red compound eye sensor mounted on a pan-tilt head. Short range, but can be used to explore the environment without moving the robot
• Infra-red obstacle sensors on each corner
• A speaker so your robot can make sounds, and sweet music
• Easy to program. Compatible with the Arduino IDE - Recognised as 'Arduino Diecimila or Duemilanove w/ ATmega168'
