Line Following Mobile Robot Bundle

Description

Everyone loves mobile robots 🙂 This is a mobile robot kit based on Maker UNO(Arduino UNO compatible). You can learn electronics, sensors, microcontrollers, and coding all at once, not to forget to have fun too!

The kit comes in loose parts, so you will need to assemble it, but there is no soldering needed 🙂 What’s so special about this mobile robot kit is it has an infrared sensor (two) where you can program it for line detection and perform line following. And we have prepared the steps for you to assemble it and a sample sketch based on Arduino for your robot to follow the line.

With the beginner-friendly Maker UNO as the controller, everyone can build and program this mobile robot. We have also included

• Dual-channel motor driver – Maker Drive
• Custom designed PCB base
• Two “TT” brush motor
• 4 x AA battery to power the controller and motor
• Of course, it comes with the IR Line Tracking Module 🙂
