Overview
The Robotic Caterpillar is a fun
introductory robotic kit that comes
unassembled so it is perfect for school
or hobby projects. Minor soldering
required. The Caterpillar is controlled
by a powerful ATMEGA16
microcontroller that is programmable
via open source tools in C.
The robot comes with many example
programs already written. Easily
download them to the robot using the
supplied USB interface and the
RobotLoader software. Or write your
own custom programs using the free
open-source WinAVR software.
