STS-Pi - Build a Roving Robot [Discontinued]

5.... 4.... 3.... 2.... 1.... Turn your Raspberry Pi into a spaceship! This robot chassis is designed to be used with a Raspberry Pi and an Explorer HAT Pro or Explorer pHAT board (though it will work with other motor drivers). Note: Raspberry Pi, Camera and Explorer HAT not included The kit is a great way to introduce yourself to robots and controlling motors with your Raspberry Pi. It even includes a camera mount so your little robot can take pictures while it's roaming around! There is no soldering required and the whole kit can be put together with a small flat-head screwdriver. Don't forget to pick up a Raspberry Pi, Camera Module or Explorer HAT Pro (if you don't already have them!). Kit includes

* Laser-cut chassis

* Raspberry Pi camera mount

* 2 x super-grippy moon-buggy wheels

* 2 x push header motors (298:1 ratio)

* 0.5" front castor wheel

* Jumper leads

* 2 x motor mounting brackets

* 2 x battery clips (battery optional and not included)

* Nuts, bolts, and other fixings

Build up your robot and program it in Python, Scratch, or whatever language you prefer! Add a USB battery pack (not included) and a WiFi dongle and you can make it roam free! Connor Plant has produced a video tutorial to help you build your STS-Pi, below.
