AAR
Overview:
The AAR (Arduino-Compatible)
Robot is a small autonomous mobile
robot which is perfect for those new
to the robotics world and also for
experienced Arduino fans
Designed in the Arduino opensource prototyping platform, the
AAR is easy to program and run.
With many expansion kits available
your creativity is the only limit to
where your AAR Robot will go.
The AAR is ideal as an introduction
into processor controlled hobby
electronics, and also for educational
projects in schools and colleges.
