Robotics Workshop:
The Robot Builder’s Toolkit
Robots are mechanical agents controlled by computer programs. They can be
programmed to perform all sorts of tasks and movements. Robots can assemble
cars, play soccer, vacuum floors, deliver packages, map terrain, climb mountains,
entertain people, cook dinner — the list goes on and on. With this kit, you can build
robots that use different sensors to sense their environment. With the app, you can
program the robots’ motors, lights, and speaker to behave in different ways
depending on the data coming from their sensors. First, build the robots in this
manual to learn how everything works, and then design your own robots!
