This video shows what you can do by adding an Arduino to your Science Buddies Bluebot Kit. The Bluebot Kit introduces students to robotics and electronics without requiring a computer or any programming. Adding an Arduino to your kit allows your robot to perform more complex behaviors. Kits (Arduino not included) are available for purchase at https://www.homesciencetools.com/product/bluebot-4-in-1-educational-robotics-kit/?aff=SB1. Instructions for the Bluebot projects, including wiring…
