The Shield-Bot is Parallax's educational robot for Arduino, sold as the Robot Shield with Arduino kit. An Arduino Uno with Parallax's Board of Education Shield rides on the aluminium small-robot chassis with continuous-rotation 50 RPM servos and wheels, powered by a 5-cell AA pack. Students build it in about an hour, then work through 40 hands-on activities in the 270+ page printed guide Robotics with the BOE Shield-Bot for Arduino. They learn Arduino C programming, servo calibration, status lights and sound, and navigation by touch, light and infrared distance sensing. It suits middle school, high school, college, summer camps and hobbyists, can be used as a California A-G approved elective, and can be programmed with the Arduino IDE on Windows and Mac or browser editors on Chromebooks. The assembled robot fits back in its box between lessons, and Parallax sells sensor and hardware add-ons for it. The complete kit costs USD 299.
