DESCRIPTION
Boe-Bot is an Educational-Robots from Parallax. It is built for Education.
The Boe-Bot is Parallax's classic educational rolling robot. A BASIC Stamp 2 microcontroller on a Board of Education Rev D carrier controls it, and it is programmed in PBASIC. Students build it on a brushed-aluminium chassis with two continuous-rotation servos as drive wheels in about 1-2 hours, then follow the included Robotics with the Boe-Bot text, whose projects take about 50 hours. Touch whiskers, phototransistors and infrared emitter-receiver pairs let it navigate on its own. LEDs, a piezo speaker and a solderless breadboard let students build and test their own circuits. It is used in middle and high schools, vocational schools, colleges, robotics clubs and homes. It is recommended for ages 13 and up, is an approved platform for the Boy Scouts of America Robotics merit badge, and can be used as a California A-G approved elective course. The board and BASIC Stamp can be removed for other projects, and expansion sensors and hardware kits are available. The USB kit costs USD 299. A version with a serial-port board is also sold.
