The smart little ActivityBot 360° Robot can get you started and take you a long way. It is easy to program visually with BlocklyProp, or in C with simplified libraries. Feedback 360° High Speed Servos with built-in encoders make for fast, consistent maneuvers. A variety of sensors and components come in the kit. Its Propeller Activity Board WX features built-in support for audio and wireless upgrades.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"http:\/\/learn.parallax.com\/tutorials\/grade\/grades-9\/activitybot\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan class=\"forte\"\u003eFree web tutorials\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e guide you step by step — just follow the checkmarks. First, build your ActivityBot. Then, learn about programming its multicore Propeller chip brain. Start building circuits on a breadboard, then make DIY sensor systems so your robot can navigate on its own. Tutorial options include BlocklyProp graphical programming or C language with simplified libraries. Choose your preference, or go from one to the other for a strong foundation and progression.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe ActivityBot 360° Robot is ready for tinkering.
