iBOTZ
Quadrabotz
A super walking
programmable educational toy robot with eyes
that sense light and obstacles. QuadraBOTZ
comes with excellent educational PC software
and can be programmed to walk on any smooth
surface and respond to light and obstacles
using a simple intuitive BASIC program.
Supplied with a CD Rom containing fully
illustrated constructional details,
operating principles, circuits and a superb
animated audio-visual programming tutorial.
Also included are a range of test routines
that show oscilloscope traces of the sensor
signals and the motor control current.
Two way communication with the PC is via
a serial port connection (lead is supplied).
The software is very well designed and
fun to use, allowing you to experiment with
different 'gaits' (Walking Movements) and to
set and control individually the three
motors, beeper sounds, light sensors and
obstruction detectors.
Initially pre-loaded with a program that
beeps, seeks light and avoids obstacles,
Quadrabotz can be re-programmed to perform
in many different ways. Programs can be
developed step by step with the PC lead
connector before being loaded into
Quadrabotz's memory for 'free-running'.
Includes a CD Rom, full set of chassis
parts, pcb and all components, hardware,
three motor/gearboxes, nuts, screws,
fixings, serial lead and battery boxes (uses
4 AA batteries - not included).
The robot kit offer a great insight into
Design and Technology and comes complete
with a booklet giving information on how the
robot works and the components that are used
in its construction. The robot kits are
ideal for any budding engineer.
